About the author

Almost daily, I write something to publicly share, a practice adopted long before I became a doctor of Internal Medicine. Readers of my articles and books access first-hand accounts of my personal and professional struggles, joys, sorrows, shortcomings and intrinsic rewards.

My ever-widening exposure to reading and listening audiences includes the following highlights:

• In My Humble Opinion.blogspot.com. Most weeks I post multiple articles on this venue.
• My writing is featured on social media's leading physician website KevinMD.com.
• Bimonthly, I write articles for The Medical Bag.com.
• Northern MSW: Advocacy, Aging, Healthcare & Social Work Issues, a Canadian website moderated by Victoria Brewster, MSW, regularly presents my essays.
• The Lives You Touch Publications released my chapbook of poetry, Primary Care, in Winter 2012, and with the editorial assistance of CreateWrite Enterprises I published my first book of short stories and essays in early 2015: I Am Your Doctor and This Is My Humble Opinion.

Born in Evanston, Illinois, in 1973, my interest in becoming a doctor ignited when my father, an oncologist, died unexpectedly in the prime of life. This profound and life-shaping loss colors my self-reflective writing and manifests as my "genetic destiny" to practice medicine.

In January 2014, after much soul-searching, I launched my own concierge-style, home-based medical practice.
