When you’re suffering from pain we are here to help!
What is Direct Care Rheumatology
Direct care is a model which offers more immediate and personalized access to your doctor.
Did you know that in today’s office practice environment, the average amount of time a rheumatologist spends during a visit is 16 minutes? 75% of this time is spent on understanding your symptoms, examining you, and reviewing test results. This leaves only 4 minutes to formulate an assessment, come up with your plan, answer questions, and provide patient education.
My program offers you a much deserved change.
Under a direct care model, more than 90% of my time can be spent formulating a holistic plan to treat painful, debilitating inflammatory diseases, answering your questions, providing education and beyond. We can work together to focus on preventative care in a setting that is unhurried, positive, and stress-free. This level of service I look forward to providing to a small group of health-minded people; I will have a deeper understanding of your health, so that I can be your best advocate.
