The specialty of family practice is the result of the evolved and enhanced expression of general medical practice and is uniquely defined within the family context. Family Practice is the only specialty that requires board recertification by written exam every 7 years. These specialists, because of their background and interactions with the family, are best qualified to serve as each patient's advocate in all health-related matters, including the appropriate use of consultants, health services, and community resources.

I believe in holistic health care, which means I use a combination of western, allopathic medicines, diet and lifestyle modification and herbal medicines when appropriate.

I came to medicine via computers and the film industry. I chose family practice as a specialty because it complements my broad interests and allows me to treat the whole person. I strive to make the office a family friendly environment, offering day care on the premises to my employees. The office and practice endeavor to make all ages feel welcome. I try to make the practice hours convenient to the needs of my patients.

I live in Brookline with my sons Benjamin (10) and Noah (8). My interests include rollerblading, painting, skiing, cooking, community involvement and chasing after my high-spirited boys. Additionally, I am shomeret mitzvot, and am well versed in the laws of Taharot Hamishpachah. I can serve as a link to Rabbaim for women with shaylot. I know well which procedures render a woman niddah and which do not. I know the problems that can arise with fertility and which interventions are permissible.

I am now offering Particle Skin Resurfacing and Laser Hair Removal. All procedures are done by the physician. To learn more about this procedure, and find out if you are a candidate, click on the link below, or email the practice and we will send you a free video and more information.
