Clinical philosophy
Medicine that remembers you
Most of what goes wrong in primary care goes wrong between appointments — a result nobody chased, a medication nobody stopped, a symptom mentioned once and never followed up. The job is mostly attention.
She keeps her own panel rather than rotating, which means the person reading your chart in year nine is the person who wrote it in year one. Appointments run thirty minutes because fifteen is not long enough to hear the second thing you came in to say.
She will tell you when a test is unlikely to change anything, and she will say so plainly. Patients who want a clinician to agree with them quickly are usually happier elsewhere, and she is comfortable saying that too.

She noticed a medication I had been on for six years that nobody had reviewed. We stopped it. Three weeks later the dizziness I had put down to age was gone.
Maya EllisonPatient since 2019I have seen her for eleven years. She has never once opened my chart in front of me and looked surprised by what was in it.
Daniel ChoPatient since 2015She told me a scan would not change what we did next, and explained why. It was the first time a doctor had talked me out of a test.
