We pride ourselves with implementing the latest findings from medical research to continually improve the quality of care.  We do it through seminars, medical journals, and conferences organized by American Society of Bariatric Physicians and American College of Physicians.  In the past 3 years, the doctor has surpassed the Continuing Medical Education requirements for Physicians by the American Medical Association, and has spent over 300 hours reviewing the findings and applying them to improve quality of care.  We have achieved proven results, per the Blue Cross Blue Shield report mentioning significant cost savings for our patients, indicative of our high quality of care.  Look up the report among the testimonials.

Innovative, Quality Care through integration of Technology and Medicine

We spend time and resources to implement the latest findings from research in our practice to improve patient experience and quality of care.  We are completely paperless and have implemented an Electronic Records Management system.  This allows us to receive the diagnostic lab results electronically, thus improving efficiency in decision making.  We have customized patient care templates within the EMR system, capable of recording and tracking all relevant information during the patient's interaction with the doctor.  This helps us track the patient's response and fine tune the medical decisions.  The templates were created per specific recommendations of American Society of Bariatric Physicians for management of overweight patients and along with recommendations from journals publshed by American College of Physicians.  Moreover, we are allowing the patients to request appointments, prescription refills, see their medical records, and billing statements online, from the comfort of their home and without the need to pick up the phone or access to a fax machine.
