Personal values:I am committed to offering up-to-date personalized health care. I am a family doctor and geriatrician and keep up my certification status by doing continuing education at least 50 hours each year. I believe deeply in shared decision making with my patients. I see my self as a source of information about best health practices and about findings on tests and examinations. I share my recommendations, reasoning and physical exam findings. I negotiate with each patient what they feel will be the best path for them to follow to improve their health. I pride my self on being patient and trying to help people change un-healthy behaviors. I see myself in this nurturing and educational position as helper for the long term. I try to end each day with the sense that I have given my very best to each and every patient.Web sites I recommend for patient use:Cancer information: http://cancernet.nci.nih.gov/cancertopicsCenter for Disease Control: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/Clinical Trials from the government: http://clinicaltrials.gov/Family practice oriented patient Information: http://familydoctor.org/Health Library: http://www.healthfinder.gov/MAYO Clinic: http://www.mayohealth.org/Merck Manual: http://www.merck.com/pubs/mmanualClinical practice Guidelines:http://www.medicine.ucsf.edu/resources/guidelinesMedical Journals:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedTravel Information: http://www.intmed.mcw.edu/travel.html
