Personal Health MD

"I founded Personal Health MD, a membership practice, to provide something that’s increasingly difficult to find in today’s healthcare environment: Personal, state-of-the-art, collaborative care. I understand how hard it is to find a physician who has enough time to care for your health needs. That’s why I established Personal Health MD — to combine the latest advances in medicine with the time honored doctor-patient relationship of small town doctoring. I enjoy meeting patient needs ranging from a skilled consult for complex conditions, to ongoing primary care and wellness, or urgent care that fits into a busy schedule. I add in aspects of Functional Medicine that help diagnose and treat gut, inflammatory, and hormonal imbalances. Our health care team at Personal Health MD focuses on underlying causes, not just symptoms. We facilitate, as needed, a network of specialists at MGH, Beth Israel, and Brigham and Women hospitals. From 1994 to 2004 I was the sole physician for the island community of Vinalhaven Maine delivering medical, emergency, and counseling care for the entire community. From 2006 to 2011 I provided primary care at Harvard University Health Services to students and faculty and did an MPH in Health Policy and environmental health. In 2011 I launched Personal Health MD in Back Bay Boston to deliver experienced personal care to local and international patients."
