Fellow In Training

Welcome to my wellness practice. Let us help you regain your vitality and help you Feel, Look, and BE the best you can be at your age!

I am a Family Physician in Decatur, Illinois. I have provided caring, comprehensive patient care in central Illinois for the past 19 years. This included practicing obstetrics for 15 years, which I reluctantly gave up due to rising malpractice costs!

Family Medicine is the ideal wellness specialty! I care for the ENTIRE PERSON AS A WHOLE FUNCTIONING BEING and not just one part or one organ system of your body. All of your body's organs and biochemical functions are about BALANCE. If one area of your body gets out of balance it's not unlike one unbalanced wheel on your car - you can feel it in the entire vehicle, and in your case it starts to affect your overall well being!

I have learned a lot from you, my patients, over the years. Most importantly that you want someone who will listen, and then someone who will help. I care for all age groups from infants to senior citizens in a holistic manner providing compassionate care in a comfortable, friendly office setting - Click HERE to see all the medical services I provide.

I am supported by an outstanding, personally selected, office staff that I feel will provide you with excellent care.

I pride myself on continually learning about new areas of medicine and new procedures to provide you with better care. I have taken advanced training and educated myself about alternative care therapies and procedures. I have incorporated these into my practice and utilize them when I feel they provide you with better alternatives to traditional western medical practices.

As an aging "baby boomer" I desire to maintain my health through hormonal balance at an age appropriate level. I augment a reasonable lifestyle with bio-identical hormones and nutritional supplementation to be my best! I maintain my outward appearance in a manner similar to how I maintain my inner health. It is my belief that our appearance has much to do with how we feel, how we function, and how we interact with others. Again, I have taken advanced training and educated myself about what I refer to as the "Looking Good, Feeling Good" arena of medical care.
