He does not believe in just treating the symptoms with medication but caring for individual patients and providing the best quality care possible within his means, trainings and life experiences. His education includes a residency in both internal medicine and emergency medicine, board certification in emergency medicine, additional training and certification in wound care and hyperbaric oxygen therapy and completing a fellowship in advanced aging, functional and regenerative medicine.
