Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011Do you have a job? Does your job provide medical insurance? Does your medical insurance also allow “flexible spending”?

Friday, October 28th, 2011In my last post, I talked about the true situations of those who call themselves “The 99%.” You may have wondered: what does all this have to do with doctoring?

new office photos!
Tuesday, August 30th, 2011…I know you’re excited. Please see this page for photos of what the entry to the building looks like.
Here is the waiting room, a teensy bit redecorated…
When you sit down, you will see clipboards with documents you might want/need, on the wall facing you (at the bottom of the stairs).
Come in, and make yourself comfortable!

bad biting baby
Saturday, August 27th, 2011Between ages one and three,
a majority of toddlers
will have bitten someone
at some time or another.
If you really only want a set of instructions for how to deal with your biter, scroll to the bottom.
When my daughter was two, we relocated across the country and moved in with some friends, who had a one-year-old.
Now, these were [...]
