Passionate for Change

I have been practicing medicine for the past 48 years. Recently I've noticed how much Americans spend on medical care (about $3.3 trillion yearly). We are way ahead of civilized nations in technology, but 45th ranked in patient outcomes. It becomes clear to me, after all these years of gaining wisdom and understanding, that the only way to achieve change is to make America more healthy. The current system of managing disease, which we shall call, the mainstream misconception, is making people more chronically ill, disabled, thereby decreasing their quality of life. People, please listen... It just doesn't work. 
Osteopathic medicine is America's only answer. The challenge though is finding the right D.O.,one who understands and practices the concept of optimum wellness.
I have not always thought this way . Like most "good" physicians I bought into the system that preaches "a pill for every ill". In the past I've treated disease. Sometimes I was successful sometimes I admit not, but when I began treating the WHOLE patient. I achieved success no matter what the outcome.
I am proud to be a reborn Osteopathic Physician, firmly entrenched in its roots and philosophy, and will continue to find and teach health to all those who seek me as their healer. I will continue this passionate journey of education and enlightenment for as long as I can.
