Core Values
In 2002, I established my private practice in Worcester, MA. For two decades, I have devoted my time to providing unhurried, empathetic care to patients of all ages. My commitment to accessibility and responsiveness extends around the clock. Aside from the standard ethics, professionalism, and excellence, my core values are:
Compassion: I care about my patients. I strive to listen to them, show kindness, understand their feelings, and try to make them feel better.
Trust: Building trust is super important. I am open, talk clearly, and do what I say I will do. My patient's health is my first priority. I get to know my patients well and treat them like family. They trust that I have their best interest at heart and don't just follow "guidelines" robotically.
Wellness: I aim to keep my patients well, not just treat them when sick.

Frequently asked questions
What is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a healthcare model where patients pay a flat monthly fee to become members of a DPC practice. This model facilitates a direct financial relationship between patients and their doctors, bypassing insurance and enabling more personalized care. In DPC, doctors provide a range of medical services including preventive, wellness, and chronic disease management.

Can Direct Primary Care save you money?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) providers offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional healthcare models. Here's how hiring us as your DPC provider can save you money:

How much does Direct Primary Care cost compared to Concierge Medicine?
The pricing for new members is less than the cost of your cell phone bill, or a dinner for two, each month, yet the service is comparable to, if not better than, the well-known Concierge Medicine services that cost 3 - 6 times as much. In our prices, we don't discriminate by age. Because we value family relationships, we provide significant discounts for additional family members. The payment process begins only after a friendly video call or an in-person meeting has been conducted to ensure a suitable fit between the healthcare provider and the member.
What are the benefits of Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) simplifies billing and often reduces healthcare costs with a flat monthly fee. It provides better access to doctors, longer visits, and a focus on preventive care.
