Natural Evolution - Transitioning Together to Telemedicine!

You may already know, but if you don’t - I’ll be transitioning to Telemedicine at the end of this year.  By December 31, 2022, my office will be completely “virtual”.  Over the past 28 years of clinical practice , I’ve been privileged to take care of all of you at my office in Encinitas.  You may notice that many of your healthcare providers are adding/keeping telemedicine in their practices. Now is the time for change  -  it’s a positive addition for so many patients, evolving from the pandemic.  

A Reflection On Embracing Change…. 

For those of you who follow my journey you know about my cancer diagnosis in 2018 and my mother’s relentless battle with dementia and ultimate passing in 2021.  I know many of you have faced similar challenges with your health and families. I am now practicing what I preach, and letting these experiences, and my intuition guide me. 

Both of these experiences had a huge impact on me, giving me the gift of a new perspective on life and its meaning.  Life is short and you must appreciate each and every day that you are given.  We may not know what tomorrow brings but we can do our best to live each day to the fullest with purpose- being amazing along the way! 

As I turn 60 this November, I’m looking forward to celebrating with all of you,  ( in the next 1- 2 weeks, you will be receiving an invitation to my Birthday party - SAVE THE DATE - November 11, 2022.), and continuing to serve you all as your telehealth physician. 

I will continue to be accessible to you for follow up visits/consultations, hormone therapy/refills, anxiety/depression treatment, blood work order/evaluation, Mammo/ Dexa scan requests as well as many other services.
