The practice will be opening in 2026.  At this time you are able to add yourself to the waitlist and I will send updates as the time gets closer. 

The Direct Care Practice will be $150/mo with non-refundable $150 enrollment Fee or $1200 per year per member.  There is discount pricing for Partners (2 adults) $225/month and $250/month for Families (2 adults and 2 children, each additional child is $25 with Family Membership). A 10 percent discount is available to all health care professions. Pricing is transparent and allows for a direct relationship between the clinician and patient that cuts out insurance as the middle man.

At this time due to laws around Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans I am not able to accept Medicare patients.  Medicaid patients are able to join.  You can still add yourself to the wait list if you have Medicare as I may be able to accept this insurance in the future.

I provide comprehensive lifestyle medicine services including a Lifestyle Medicine comprehensive health assessment and Metabolic Assessment.  I also provide Acute Care Visit for Urgent Concerns (flu, covid, sore throats, URI, UTI etc) and Chronic care including conditions like Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Obesity, Thyroid concerns, High Cholesterol, Depressions/anxiety etc.  

If you are prescribed a controlled substances I will review your case individually and let you know whether I am able to continue these medications.

With a concierge practice I have the flexibility to provide 30 to 60 minute visits for each patients. The membership includes unlimited visits.

As a direct member you will have access to my cell phone for text message and phone calls for acute concerns during business hours and up to 9pm at night.  You can use email for non-urgent concerns like medication refills or scheduling appointments. You can also schedule appointments online. Outside of those hours I recommend that you seek care at Urgent Care or the Emergency Room.

I am trained in Family Medicine and this practice will be open to children 5 years and up and adults of all ages.

At this time I am not planning on offering vaccines.  Vaccines are very important for preventive health.  I will provide vaccine recommendations and they can be completed at your local pharmacy or your local health department.  Vaccines for children must be completed prior to their well child checks which will allow me to complete the required NYS form for schools.

This practice will serve resident in Rochester NY for in person and telemedicine visits.  I can accept patients anywhere in New York State and Florida for telemedicine visits although the services offered may be limited and may require referrals for in person evaluations as needed

I do provide limited chronic pain services and only will prescribe buprenorphine for pain. I am able to transition patients from full agonist medications like oxycodone, vicodin etc to buprenorphine over a period of 1 week. Buprenorphine has been shown to be effective for pain and when compared to full agonist opioids it has been shown to improve pain control, increase function and increase quality of life.  It is also safer and less likely to cause respiratory depression and opioid overdose.

Yes! I am trained in family medicine and can provide GYN care including pap smears, annual GYN exams, contraceptive services including Nexplanon insertions, IUD insertions and prescriptions for other contractives.

I will be working part time. The direct primary care clinic will be open Tuesdays and Fridays 10am - 5pm.  I am generally able to get patients in within 48 to 72 hours and I can provide earlier visits (8-10am) and can provide virtual visits for acute concerns on an as needed basis. 

As a direct care member your care will be provided through a private Electronic Health Record which does not interface with epic or other common EHRs. This allows for increased privacy and confidentiality.
