I am in my twentieth year of clinical practice during which time I have performed approximately 32,000 hands-on treatments.  My emphasis in clinical practice is on quality over quantity.  For the past 30 years, I have spent 90 minutes with my new patients and 45 minutes during follow-up visits.
For twelve years, I served as an adjunct assistant professor in the OMM department at Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine.  The Touro OMM skills lab has allowed me to maintain my skills while also contributing to osteopathic medical student education.  For the past two years I have focussed solely on my clinical practice in San Rafael. Last year I began seeing patients one day per week at a rural office in Tomales on a property that has been in our family for over 40 years.

My philosophy of how to improve the health of my patients employs a comprehensive osteopathic and rehabilitation model.  I allow the patient’s own innate healing capacity to occupy center stage.  Taking a comprehensive history helps me to track the events of the patient’s illnesses and/or traumas back toward cause, which may or may not relate directly to the diagnosis/diagnoses the patient previously had.  Getting back to true cause helps develop a treatment plan that meets the patient at the most basic and important levels.
