Always do what's right.
Rooted in my German upbringing, my philosophy is quite simple. Growing up in Germany instilled in me a strong sense of integrity, diligence, and compassion. These values guide every aspect of my practice. I am committed to providing the highest standard of care, ensuring that every decision made is in the best interest of my patients. Your health and well-being are my top priorities, and I strive to create a trustworthy and supportive environment for all.
My decision to no longer accept insurance is based on a fundamental principle: I work for you, not the insurance companies.
Insurance companies have their own agendas, prioritizing profits for themselves and their shareholders. While they may claim to have your best interests at heart, their primary goal is financial gain. There's nothing inherently wrong with making money and building a business, but when it comes to your health, you should have the power to decide what care you receive.
In the past, my ability to provide the best care for my patients has been hindered by insurance company denials. They often rely on a one-size-fits-all approach to healthcare, which simply doesn't work in the real world. Each person is unique, and your care should be tailored to your specific needs, values, and goals.
I believe in personalized care that focuses on doing what's right for you. By not accepting insurance, I can dedicate my efforts entirely to your well-being, ensuring you receive the most appropriate and effective care possible.
