St Louis Internal Medicine

As a primary care provider, I think it's important for patients to trust me and know that I'm looking out for their best interests. Our 65Prime+ clinic is uniquely designed to serve Medicare beneficiaries. Patients are given extended appointment times, which helps me thoroughly address their concerns and explain their medications.

I would want patients who haven't met me yet to know that I really want to hear their full story. I don't want to just be taking care of their medical problems. I think that health is so much more all-encompassing than that. And I think that really everything from what's going on at home, to how their family life is, to just anything that is going on inside their head is really relevant to their health.

Preventative medicine is very important to me. That's why I got into internal medicine and why I picked that specialty. I think with my background in having people in my family that battled cancer makes it very important to me to utilize preventative medicine as much as we can.
