I am a U.S. board certified family medicine doctor, taking care of patients for almost 25 years, from community clinics in rural areas to international hospitals in Beijing. I am currently taking care of patients virtually, via Teladoc’s P360 Virtual Primary Care group. I accept new patients from dozens of states across the USA.

I have been blogging and writing public health articles since medical school. I started this website to provide evidence-based medical information, discussed in an easy format for adults and children. The emphasis is on family health and wellness. There are a lot of confusing and contradictory signals out there as to what works for your health; so, I hope I can be your guide to proper prevention of disease, which for a family doctor is just as important as treating the disease. I welcome all comments and suggestions!

Please don’t forget that my advice should be used to complement, and not to replace, advice from your own health doctors. Also, you can relax that I am not collecting any personal data, nor am I selling any visitor logs to anyone. I have strict ethical codes on this site, which is why I was twice approved by the HONCode of trusted medical websites, a UN-approved NGO.

I live in a lovely rural area across the bay from Seattle with my wife and two boys. My other lifetime passion is photography.
