I have been practicing in the hospital setting for over a decade and realized I missed the long term relationships I had with my patients as a primary care provider. Seeing patients in their home environment and being able to spend time with them without the pressures of “the system” has always been a dream. With Santa Fe Mobile MD, I am finally able to provide the kind of care I believe all patients deserve and should expect. Since I began my training in Family Medicine, I have practiced in India, Guatemala, Israel, the Navajo Reservation in Northern Arizona, and Santa Fe. But with all of these experiences working around the world, probably the one that has been most influential in shaping who I am as a doctor was the year I spent in New York caring for my grandfather, Sydney, during which I witnessed his frustration with his doctors and realized the value of personalized care.
