MEDICAL BACKGROUND
My training, like that of all Osteopathic Physicians, encompasses the full range of medical science, pharmacology, and surgery - allowing us to do everything MD's do, and more. I have, however, always been drawn to manual medicine, the art and science of using touch to diagnose and treat health problems, especially muscular and skeletal disorders. This Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) has been likened by my patients to a form of ‘Super-chiropractic’ – super because OMM is more all-encompassing, not just focused on the spine, and is the product of training in ALL areas of medicine and surgery.
MY STORY
During medical school, I became disenchanted with the practice of medicine and its view of the financial bottom-line – pushed by Big Pharma and Big Medicine, medical device companies, large medical corporations, and insurance companies – as the guide to how medicine should be practiced. I eventually went on to stop practicing medicine and did other work, including developing two medicolegal consulting companies, before returning to the practice of medicine.
Over the years, I've fought crushing depression and disabling back pain. In time, I fought back to mental health and successfully treated my own back pain. Eventually, I did find my place in medicine in a wonderful group practice. This path, however, has provided me with the opportunity to develop unbounded empathy for my patients and for all people who suffer physical, mental, or financial woes.
Over my years in practice, I've helped many hundreds of people, including many who had lost hope – depressed and pain-filled people – regain their lives through applying holistic principles including several unique but, scientifically sound forms of treatment, counseling, and sharing my humanity and my human touch.
AUTHOR
My journey as an author began very early. Even as a child, I always enjoyed writing poetry and short stories. As I grew, I read many classics, biographies, Science Fiction and Fantasy novels, short stories, and many of the works of the maestros like Shakespeare, Tolkien, and Rowling.
My writings have appeared in a legal journal and literary magazines. I've even received some small acclaim for my short stories.
Over the past several years, however, I have dedicated myself to making more people aware of osteopathic medicine. To further that goal, I wrote a tongue-in-cheek book called Osteopathy and the Zombie Apocalypse: Why You Want to be an Osteopathic Physician at the End of the World - a career guide for premedical students. The book has received substantial praise on Amazon.com. It has also brought people into the osteopathic profession who would otherwise not have become osteopathic physicians.
As I've gained substantial experience in pain treatment, I realize the collected methods I've learned from several sources and employ in daily practice, form a completely new and more complete view of how to diagnose and treat acute and chronic pain than ever previously existed. Old and new knowledge continues to find its way into my sphere. As a result, my understanding, empathy, and practices are ever-evolving.

Blog postPeople hear the word ‘osteopath,’ and, knowing that ‘osteo’ is Greek for ‘bone’ assume that we’re all chiropractors who crack necks and fix backs.

Although many of the quotes and thoughts are not from osteopathic physicians – nor even from ‘physicians’ for that matter, they are representative of what the author considers to be the essence of osteopathy – and the foibles of medicine.
