My approach
Precise diagnosis,
clear plan, free life.
In every consultation I take all the time needed to listen to your story, review what you already bring with you and give you a concrete plan. My goal is simple: that you leave knowing exactly what you have, why you have it and what we are going to do about it. No jargon. No generic prescriptions. A plan built on evidence and designed for your real life.
