“Again and again, I see healthy habit changes make an enormous positive difference in people’s lives. This is what keeps me going. Medicines, therapies and technology have their place. But the experience I enjoy the most is when someone can cut back on medications (safely) and reports a higher energy level after making a lasting change in their lifestyle.”

My Practice
Allow me to become an ally and facilitate positive change in your health. Services provided include: diabetes care, weight loss management and cosmetic treatments.
Diabetes
If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, type 1 or 2, my practice provides treatment and education to help you lead a happier and healthier life. While diet and exercise plans play a major role in diabetes management, I also have expertise on the use of medications, supplements and devices such as insulin pumps and continuous glucose sensors.
Weight Loss
The first step in setting up a rewarding weight loss plan is to identify your biggest motivators. This provides the fuel for transformation. Another important step is to find your unique challenges. Taking these aspects into consideration, we can set up a customized plan with your particular circumstances in mind. Tools include a diet and exercise plan, medications, meal replacements and ongoing support.
Cosmetic Treatments
If you are considering ways to pamper yourself, inquire about our cosmetic treatments. A detailed consultation can help you decide if these treatments can help you achieve a desirable rested and relaxed appearance.
