My Approach
Every patient comes with a different history, set of concerns and goals. Your visit is tailored accordingly, whether that means investigating premature heart disease, optimizing medications, exploring weight-management strategies, evaluating inherited conditions or improving care for complex heart, kidney and metabolic disease.
My approach is to look at the whole patient rather than treating each condition in isolation. Medications used for one condition can sometimes complicate another, while newer therapies may address several aspects of cardiometabolic health at once. Together, we look for opportunities to simplify treatment, reduce unnecessary medications when appropriate, and choose therapies that support your overall health and quality of life.
I also recognize that cost and access are part of good medical care. Whenever possible, I work with patients to identify well-covered medications and programs that can help reduce out-of-pocket costs.
Most importantly, I work alongside your existing healthcare team, including your primary care physician, cardiologist, endocrinologist, nephrologist and other specialists. My role is not to replace their care, but to work together to focus your care around your individual priorities.
