| About Private Health M.D. |
The practice is fully computerized including paperless charting and electronic billing. We are equipped for electronic transmission of information to Quest, LabCorp and Winter Park Memorial Hospital labs as well as all involved pharmacies that our patients use.
The patient portal allows email communication with our staff and physician using protected, secure, HIPPA compliant software.
The doctor carries a patient dedicated cell-phone for emergency communication without the need for an answering service. Coverage will be provided when the doctor is out of town.
Inpatient care will be provided at Winter Park Memorial Hospital, Florida Hospital South, East, and North (Altamonte).
The practice will be limited to a number of patients thus making same day appointments possible and an hour or more provided for comprehensive physical examinations.
My emphasis is achievement of optimum health through counseling on exercise, weight management, appropriate dietary habits and use of available medical technology. All done with a warm human touch, of course.
