Living Well...

My first book, "Living Well With Chronic Headaches and Migraine Disease: What your doctor doesn't tell you... that you need to know," published by HarperCollins, was released November 1, 2005. For more information, see www.HelpForHeadaches.com!

Philosophies

Optimal health care can be achieved only when patients are educated about their health and patients and physicians work together as treatment partners in an atmosphere of mutual respect.

As patients, we cannot expect to walk into a doctor's office and say, "Fix me." We have a responsibility to learn about our illness(es) and treatments. Our doctors can't be with us every minute. There will be times when we have to make our own treatment decisions. We can't do this effectively unless we are educated patients.
