The Greatest Holiday Gift—Cheers!
Where everybody knows your name—
When I was growing up, Cheers was popular. You could walk into the bar, and you were greeted by name. You were seen. You belonged.
There is something profoundly healing in being seen, isn’t there?
And yet, when I was in fee-for-service medicine, I was seeing so many patients that it was hard to “see” anyone. And the pace was so fast because the only way our office could generate income was by having people come in for office visits.
By the time I left fee-for-service, I was completing an average of 25 office visits a day.
In the community, I’d sometimes observe people looking my way and I couldn’t remember their name. I felt a lot of shame because of the increased demand and fast pace of the fee-for-service system. When I dreamed of being a doctor, I didn’t dream of having to rush through my day so quickly.
The thing I am most looking forward to as I open my DPC practice is “seeing” you, my patient.
It’s a gift to have the opportunity to do things differently now. And I am looking forward to sharing this gift with you, especially during this holiday season.
And I don’t mean “seeing” as in an office visit. I mean it as in seeing your creativity, resourcefulness and wholeness, honoring your health journey, helping you achieve “ultra” health, and living life to the fullest.
I am now accepting new patients—click below if you are ready to enroll. You will be asked to fill out a brief form so we can set up a quick phone call to start the onboarding process.
I look forward to “seeing” you.
