A Personal Approach to Your Health

Throughout my medical career at prestigious institutions including Baylor College of Medicine and University of Chicago Medicine, I have witnessed firsthand how the conventional healthcare system often prioritizes profits over patients. Too many times, I have seen pharmaceutical solutions pushed when natural alternatives could provide better outcomes with fewer side effects.

This realization, combined with my experience managing complex chronic conditions in Medicare patients, drove me to create TeletonicMD in 2024 - a practice where every patient receives the time, attention, and comprehensive information they deserve. Here, we explore all your options, honor your body's natural healing abilities, and empower you to make decisions that align with your values and goals.

As a registered Medical Cannabis Certifying Physician and advocate for integrative medicine, I bring both traditional medical expertise and openness to alternative therapies that truly work.
