If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911 or seek care at an emergency room.
After more than two decades practicing medicine for high profile clients, I’ve come to believe that the most effective health care hinges on time, access, and trust.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for patients in many different settings, from military installations and overseas assignments to serving as a White House physician. No matter the environment, patients always achieve better health when they feel heard, supported, and cared for as individuals.
That belief is what led me to Signature by MedStar Health, a concierge medicine model designed to deliver a more personalized, relationship-based experience for patients.
What is concierge medicine?
Concierge medicine, sometimes called concierge primary care, is a healthcare model that prioritizes personalized attention, expedited 24/7 access, and 360-degree care. At Signature by MedStar Health, this approach allows us to focus on the whole person, not just a single symptom or diagnosis.
In some healthcare settings, visits can feel rushed, and patients may need multiple appointments to address multiple concerns. Concierge medicine gives us the time and flexibility to listen carefully, understand the full picture, and curate a comprehensive care plan together.
Care designed around you.
At Signature by MedStar Health, your first visit is intentionally thorough. We take the time to review your medical history, discuss current concerns, and talk about your long-term health goals. From there, we build a personalized plan that supports both your immediate needs and your future well-being.
Our care model includes a coordinated, three-pronged approach for optimal health that includes:
- Medical care, led by your personal physician
- Nutritionist support, with dietary guidance aligned with your health and wellness goals
- Athletic trainer support, focused on strength, mobility, and function
By addressing multiple aspects of health together, we support preventive care, chronic condition management, and overall wellness in a more connected way.
Expedited access that fits your busy life.
Unparalleled access is a cornerstone of concierge medicine. Signature by MedStar Health is designed to make it more convenient to get care when and how you need it.
In addition to same-day or next-day in-office visits for urgent concerns, we also offer virtual visits for appropriate needs. Whether you’re traveling, managing a busy schedule, or simply prefer to be seen from home, virtual visits allow us to stay connected and address concerns without unnecessary delays.
Our office phone lines are answered by real people, and after hours, patients have direct access to their personal care physician for guidance and support. You should never feel alone when it comes to your health.
Seamless coordination across MedStar Health.
Another important benefit of Signature by MedStar Health is seamless access to our extensive network of specialists and ten hospitals. When specialized care is needed, I help coordinate referrals and communication, ensuring that your care team remains connected and well-informed.
Having a physician advocate who understands your history and works closely with specialists across MedStar Health can lead to clearer communication, fewer delays, and enhanced continuity of care.
Support for every stage.
We care for patients ages 14 and older, supporting them through every stage of life. For younger patients, we focus on building strong foundations for lifelong health. In midlife, we work together to manage risk factors, stress, and chronic conditions. As patients age, we prioritize strength, balance, and independence.
Our goal is not just longevity, but quality of life, helping patients stay active, engaged, and confident in their health.
Technology that enhances personalized care.
Our Signature by MedStar Health patients also have access to select health monitoring tools, such as smart blood pressure cuffs, scales, and wearable technology. These tools allow us to monitor trends over time, respond earlier when changes occur, and provide reassurance when things are going well.
Technology, when used thoughtfully, supports more proactive and personalized care without replacing the human connection at the heart of medicine.
A partnership built on trust.
Much of my medical career was shaped by environments where collaboration and trust were essential. During my years in the U.S. Navy, I worked closely with patients, coordinated care across systems, and had the time and resources to provide thoughtful, comprehensive support. That experience deeply influenced how I practice medicine today.
When I transitioned to civilian practice, I was looking for a healthcare environment that allowed me to continue caring for patients in that same way—patient-centered, collaborative, and grounded in strong relationships. I found that approach at MedStar Health.
Signature by MedStar Health allows me to practice medicine the way I believe it should be practiced. It prioritizes time with patients, open communication, and coordinated care, while also offering the access and resources of the top health system in the region. Most importantly, it supports a true partnership between physician and patient.
I want my patients to feel comfortable sharing their concerns openly, knowing they will be met with respect and compassion. When patients have clear information and a trusted partner guiding their care, they are better equipped to make informed decisions and feel confident in their health journey.
That is the heart of concierge medicine at MedStar Health, and it’s the philosophy that guides my care every day.
