About me

I trained in internal medicine experiencing hospital medicine first, and that shaped everything that came after. Hospital medicine shows you the end of the story. By the time someone lands on my service with a heart attack at 54, or a diabetes diagnosis that had been building quietly for a decade, the decisions that mattered were made years earlier, in rooms I wasn’t in. So I built a practice that gets me into those rooms earlier. I’m board-certified and licensed in all 50 states, DC, and Guam. I run a hospitalist group, a concierge practice in Texas, and I work in longevity, metabolic health, GLP-1 therapy, and peptides. I still take care of patients in the hospital. That keeps me honest. It’s easy to sell optimization when you never see what unoptimized looks like at 3 a.m. Here’s how I practice. I start with data. Comprehensive labs, a real history, and a visit long enough to actually get somewhere. Then I tell you what the data says and what it doesn’t. A lot of what gets sold as longevity medicine right now is a supplement stack with good photography. Some of it works. Most of it has never been tested in anyone who looks and lives like you. I will tell you no. If you come in asking about a peptide you heard about on a podcast and the evidence isn’t there, we’ll talk about why, and then we’ll talk about what actually moves your risk. Sleep. Training load. Protein. Alcohol. Visceral fat. Blood pressure. Unglamorous, and it works. The advanced tools have a place. They just aren’t the foundation, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. I also treat your time and money as clinical variables. Ordering a test you can’t act on isn’t thoroughness. It’s theater, and you pay for it twice. What you can expect working with me: Access. Direct line. 24/7. You’re not filing a ticket and waiting a week. Straight answers. I would rather tell you something you don’t want to hear than manage you into feeling good about a plan that isn’t working. A written plan. Specific targets, specific timelines, and a clear statement of what we’re watching and when we change course. If we’re three months in and the numbers haven’t moved, I want us both to notice. Continuity. You’re not handed off to a different face every visit. I know your history because I took it. No upselling. If something we offer isn’t right for you, I’m not going to sell it to you. Who I’m probably not right for: someone who wants a prescription without a workup, or a guaranteed number on the scale by a fixed date. I’m careful, and careful is sometimes slower. What I want most is for you to understand your own health well enough to make good decisions when I’m not in the room. That’s the point of all of it. My job is to hand you an accurate map and an honest read on it, and then help you act while acting still changes the outcome.
