Internal medicine, with a long interest in the patients other clinics find complicated — several conditions at once, a long medication list, and nobody holding the whole picture.

Clinical philosophy

One clinician holding the whole picture

Patients with four conditions usually have four specialists and no one reading all four letters. That gap is where an interaction hides, and it is most of what internal medicine is actually for.

She reconciles the medication list at every visit rather than once a year, out loud, with the box in front of her. It takes six minutes and it is the single highest-yield thing she does.

She is direct about uncertainty. If two specialists disagree about you she will say so, tell you which way she leans, and put the reasoning in the note so the next person can see it.

  • I take nine tablets. She is the first doctor who went through all nine with me rather than the one she was writing about.

    Daniel ChoPatient since 2018
  • Two specialists were telling me opposite things. She wrote down which one she agreed with and why, and gave me the note.

    Rosa IglesiasPatient since 2020
  • She got me in the same afternoon after a hospital discharge. Nobody had told her I had been in — she just checks.
