Mission Statement
The nature of my profession reminds me daily that our health is a precious gift. As an ovarian cancer survivor who has faced the grueling challenge of losing and ultimately rebuilding my health, I recognize personally the importance of working closely with a physician who is a strong advocate for the patient’s health and well-being. With VVMed Integrative Medical Center, Inc. and 1 on 1 MD™, LLC, I bring such commitment to my patients.
After years of practicing in a healthcare environment where valuable time is spent on seemingly endless insurance paperwork, I have elected to bring the focus back to patient care, disease prevention, and healthy aging. VVMed Integrative Medical Center provides treatment based on the latest advancements in healthy aging and utilizes valuable clinical data to help one achieve wellness internally and externally, mentally and physically. 1 on 1 MD™, LLC is a “concierge” style internal medicine practice designed and based on the fundamental belief that optimal medical care is delivered when quality time can be spent with the patient, allowing patients 24/7 physician access and continuity of care.
In our hectic lives, it is often easy to put our health as the last priority. As someone fortunate enough to be given a second chance, I would encourage all of you that during these times of stress more than ever, one needs to stay healthy mentally and physically. It is time to put your investment into something you can count on and cannot afford to be without – your health.
