At Least We Have a Web Site…

Welcome! This is the brand new website for a brand new medical practice.As I write this, I’m sitting in the Arcadian Shop Cafe on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Rebecca, bless her, took the kids to the supermarket so I could have a little time to set up this site.

Right now, Lenox Internal Medicine doesn’t have a blood pressure cuff, an examining table, a tongue depressor, or an office to put them in. But we have a website. And a dream.

Ever since we moved here, Rebecca and I have wanted to open a doctor’s office here in Lenox, where we live. Now, we have the opportunity.

I’ll use this site to keep everyone posted on our progress, decisions about the practice, tasks completed, etc. And, maybe even more important, I hope to get feedback from my patients and from the community. It’s your practice as much as it is mine.

Here’s the one goal I can state now, and it won’t change for as long as I’m in practice. I want to take great care of anyone who gives me the tremendous gift of their trust, in allowing me to be their doctor. I will do my very best to keep you healthy, I will be there for you when you are sick – by phone, by appointment or without an appointment, in the hospital, even visiting you at home if you can’t travel. I will cure you when I can, comfort when I can’t cure, answer your questions, and help you to heal in every way that I know.

We open in July 2006. With the blessing, we’ll soon have office space and a phone number, and we’ll start taking appointments.

Meanwhile, please use the comments space below to let me know what you think, make suggestions, or give me feedback.

Be well.

    Beautiful! Remember the doctors of old, they started out with little more than a dream and a web site too, honey.

    We are so happy for you and your wife and family! Reading your input and the reasons for staying here in this area on your website has only confirmed what my husband and I have believed in all along. We are very honored to have you as our physician. You really are a very compassionate person and it is true as one of your patients said you have brought back the days of old where we feel that you listen and take the time and follow through to be sure every base is covered. My experience with you has been so positive. I always feel that you take the time to understand and never hesitate to find answers if needed. That is such an important part of the process of healing and helps me to continue my journey down my pathway of health. Our very best wishes to you! See you soon!
