Services
Family Medicine
Report
Family Medicine is a specialty that focuses on the individual in a psycho-social context. This means that I treat YOU, not just your heart, joints, and lab tests. I try to consider a person's health issues in the context of their whole life, their family, their work and the emotional stresses that go along with living.
Sports Medicine
Report
Sports Medicine is a specialty I was certified in back in 1993 and re-certified in 2003 and 2013. I try to bring the knowledge that I've learned from treating athletes to everyone who has aches, pains, and injuries-recreational athletes, injured workers, pain patients, and even the elderly.
I've had the opportunity as a Non-Surgical Sports Medicine Physician to treat world class Ice Skaters, Marathon Runners, and high school and college football players.I've also treated hundreds of runners, tennis, basketball, and hockey players. Sports Medicine is about injuries, but it's also about fitness, it's about exercise programs that you can maintain, and it's about prevention.

Mind-Body Medicine
Report
Mind-Body Medicine is a fascinating field that I am very passionate about. My mentor in this area was John Sarno, M.D. a true pioneer. He was my inspiration as a medical student at NYU many years ago. Sarno was a unique thinker who had written four popular books linking chronic back pain to emotional tension.
