Looking back on my personal statements for medical school and residency applications, the consistent themes were those of longitudinal relationships, personalized care, educating families, sincere listening, providing support, viewing the family unit as a whole, being available, meeting kids at their developmental stage and watching children grow.  

Like so many other pediatricians, I was practicing in the traditional insurance-based, fee-for-service practice for 5+ years and became increasingly frustrated spending more time with my computer than with my patients and their families. I could not provide the high-quality care your child deserves in the constraints of 15 minute visits dictated by insurance company reimbursements, quality metrics paperwork and boxes to check. I wanted to do better for my patients, myself, and my family and started daydreaming about a practice where relational, transparent, convenient and quality care was possible.

Imagine a future where a visit with your pediatrician feels like inviting a trusted friend into your home.
