Overview

Since fifth grade, I have wanted to be a doctor. The smartest and coolest guy I knew was my own family physician, Dr. O’Neill in Waterford, Michigan. Dr. O’Neill looked after my whole family until his retirement as I was heading off to college. For summer jobs, I worked as nursing assistant in a nursing home and a lab tech in my county epidemiology lab. Ever since medical school, medicine has been my full-time job.

In Family Medicine, I have the privilege of treating all ages and all ailments. We always say, “You never know what will walk through the door.” With babies and young children, it’s about alleviating their fears, and mostly their parents’ fears. With older children and adolescents, we foster independence and healthy behaviors to prevent later chronic conditions. Working with adults of all ages is a mix of prevention, treatment, and helping patients set health goals. For seniors, we respect their health legacies and support their goals for aging and end of life.

Each day, I hope to improve the health and well-being of my patients through the application of the latest research on chronic disease management and preventive services, using modern technology and information systems. Since 1988, I have assembled a team of dedicated professionals who bring a variety of expertise and interests along with a caring attitude and commitment to quality care.

We strive every day to be your medical home.
