Christopher Hempel, MD

I cherish and treat every patient as an individual with unique qualities. I lay emphasis on prevention whenever possible and improving the quality of life. I like to present patients with sensible diagnostic and treatment options and help them choose the best course of I believe in communicating clearly, openly, and sharing my medical knowledge and experience about respiratory and sleep disorders.

My philosophy on patient care is that patients and I must work together as a team to find the best solution to their unique medical problems. That requires cooperation and trust from both parties.

As a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, I help patients develop the self-care skills needed for diabetes management and train them on diabetes devices such as continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and insulin pumps. New and better technologies are evolving all the time, and I strive to educate each patient on what works best for them and their specific needs.
