About
Bio
Born and grew up in Vermont. Went to medical school in Baltimore, and did internship at Georgetown in Washington, followed by military service, and resumption of training in Los Angeles.
I have a small solo private practice and teach throughout the Western United States, mainly in the area of Multiple Sclerosis. Do research with newer MS drugs, and network closely with the Univ of Colorado MS Clinic.
Do highly sophisticated electromyography with newer techniques which are described in Surgical textbooks, and a textbook in press, soon to be released. (Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and other disorders of the brachial plexus). Also, focus on alternative medicines and medical foods.
SpecialtiesDoctors may have more than one area of specialty interest. Board certification in a specialty area means the doctor has completed formal training and has practice experience in that specialty, and has passed the certification examination from the corresponding accredited medical specialty board.

Your water supply can be professionally tested. Contact your water company and GOOGLE private companies that can check for water contamination.

Am not amazed of any rumors in the media or online regarding COVID-19 vaccines. This too is absolutely FAKE NEWS and should be ignored. The USA vaccines do NOT cause any kidney problems directly and the bad hematological reactions are very rare indeed. You do need to get vaccinated, as the infection is far more devastating than a few days of a swollen injection site.

Report your concerns to local water supplier, as problematic issues can often be tested by water company. Might also consider contacting a local medical school about parasitic infections where you live.
