About
Bio
I went to Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine. I've practiced Internal Medicine for 20 years. It is my pleasure to help you feel better today and to also design a program to help you gain control of your health. I'm happy to provide an antibiotic for your sinus infection, but I'll also make lifestyle suggestions to reduce the duration and frequency of future infections.

Quick dividing cells: Rapidly dividing cells are sometimes impacted with medications that tried to stop cells that are replicating inappropriately, such as medicines used to treat cancer. That's why cancer patients suffer with hair loss and also with problems with their gastrointestinal tract, because those organs are turning over rapidly and are impacted with chemotherapy.
