Site Design in Progress

Published at July 10, 2006 in About The Practice. 1 Comment

If you’re looking at this site right now, you might notice it looks a bit funny. I’m working on the site design. Once I’m done, I’ll put up info on how to find the practice, physician bio, etc.

For now, though, if you’re looking for Lenox Internal Medicine: we’ll be opening in the middle of August, at 450 Pittsfield Road, in Lenox. That’s at the intersection of Route 7/20 and Holmes Road, right in between Berkshire Lighting and Subway, across the street from Essentials Day Spa. I’ve added a handy map, here.

We’ll provide all primary care services - office visits, hospital care, general physicals, urgent visits, etc. I’m board certified in Internal Medicine and have admitting privileges at Berkshire Medical Center. I have ten years of experience in Internal Medicine. I have been practicing for the past four years at Dalton Medical Associates.

We will take Medicare, Mass Health and most private insurances and HMOs.

For more information, or to schedule an appointment for after August 15, please call 413 637-1976.

If you are my patient and trying to reach me, or if you need an urgent appointment, you can leave a message for me at the above number, or at Dalton Medical Associates - 413 684-2110. I will stop in there to check my messages once a day through August 14.

Thanks for your interest, and check back here soon for more information.

So, in addition to information about the practice, I thought I would post medical news and notices on this site. Basically, it will be a medical weblog as well as a practice home page. Let me know if you like the idea (for practice news, scroll down).

I see on the UPI wire that the ongoing Lung Health Study at the University of Minnesota has finally proven what a lot of my patients have been telling me for years: you gain a lot of weight when you quit smoking…

Renovation begins

OK, here is the practice site as it is now - “Before” - and the signage (we’re replacing Curves but our sign isn’t up yet):

And here’s what’s going on inside:

Web site under construction

Published at July 1, 2006 in Website. 0 Comments

Hi everyone. I’m working on the website. I changed over to Wordpress - it’s not quite as pretty as the last version, which was built on Typepad - but I can add lots more useful features.

For example, you can now subscribe to receive new posts by email. It’s spam-protected. And it’s search engine optimized (whoa)!

We signed the lease and the construction contract this week and renovation is underway. I should be posting some photos soon. I think we will be able to open in August.

I can’t believe that this practice is going to be a reality. My thanks to you all, from the bottom of my heart, for your support.
