Philosophy about Patient Care

"I believe that in order to provide proper medical care, a physician must know more about their patients than just their name and vital statistics. More and more, medical science is finding that your activities, diet, lifestyle, environment, job, hobbies, friends, attitudes, family and work situation, level of stress, heredity and many other factors affect your health as much, if not more, than the things most doctors can learn about you from the short time they can spend with you when they have to see dozens and dozens of patients every day. As a practicing physician, medical educator, and former executive with a large insurance company, I am very aware of the negative effects of managed care.

Quality medical care is not a commodity. It takes special preparation with a focus on your patients and their total service experience. Physicians need the time to get to know their patients and to teach them about their health, how to maintain it, and how to improve it. Sometimes it just requires the time to listen; to be there with a patient. Under today’s managed care-dominated medical system, this is not possible.

This is why I founded Orlando Executive Health. I wanted to provide my patients more comprehensive, thorough and personal medical care than today’s managed care systems let most physicians provide patients. Orlando Executive Health is one of a few hundred pioneering “concierge” type practices opening up nationwide to provide modern medical care while allowing the doctor the old-fashioned relationship with their patients many of us only remember.”
