I take care of the whole patient. I look at what I do as, if you’re not sick, what can
we do to prevent you from getting sick. If you have an illness, what can we do to get
you better. But it’s not just the care I provide, I’m a big believer in holistic
healthcare —that is your diet, it’s your exercise, your community, your family, your
psychology, your spirits, as well.
I’ve been in Chicago now for 30-plus years. I have patients who have followed me around
in these 30 years, and I have three generations of some families. So I would just call myself
a family doctor for adults because I do like to see members of the whole family.
It’s a real privilege and honor to be a primary care physician and to be able to take
care of both the patients individually and the families that I have for many years.
