In-home and facility doctor visits are made Monday through Friday.

Available for non-urgent and non-emergency visits.

Doctor can also be reached anytime via e-mail and by phone call.

Doctor treats adults, age 18 and over.

We take infection prevention very seriously. The doctor will be wearing a face mask. Hands are cleaned prior to any examinations and gloves are worn. Additional precautions are done behind the scenes as well such as the washing of equipment and screening of the doctor for asymptomatic infection.

Wear comfortable clothing.

During the first appointment we would need to see your Medicare card, all medications that you take, all lab work that was done before and as much of your health history as possible.

Urgent and emergent concerns should be taken to your local urgent care center, hospital emergency room, or by calling 911.

As we approach our later years, the mental and physical adaptations we have made over our lifetimes continue to accumulate. The normal aging process also influences how we think, how we do physical activities, how we eat, and generally how well we can handle the environment.

The metabolism we had as kids and young adults slows down as we get older. We might also be taking medications for various medical conditions.

Because of how we change over time, the way medical professionals approach medical evaluation and treatment also changes. Any medical condition that we have tends to change over time as we get older. Medical conditions tax our bodies over time. Even if medical conditions are well controlled or aren’t present, the body continues to experience normal aging.

Because of these changes, our bodies will have a more difficult time dealing with any new health problems. The same goes with the treatments that we have for health issues. Older individuals do not process medications the same as younger individuals. Older individuals are also not able to handle surgeries as easily as younger individuals.

We find that issues that wouldn’t be a major problem in a younger person might need a closer look in an older individual. We might also find that a medication that we have been taking for years is now no longer necessary or is now more risky and helpful. There are also things that don’t change. Healthy eating, physical activity, and the importance of keeping in touch with others continue to be important things that should be maintained throughout our lives.
