There never was and never will be a one diet fits all. It’s about your body and your goals and your busy schedule. We are prescribing less very low calorie and very low carb diets these days. Think sustainability and consistency.

One of my favorite operative days are the cTIF days! C stands for concomitant. What’s concomitant? Means two things done at the same time toward one goal. I (the surgeon) do the hernia repair. Dr. Robbins(the GI specialist) does the TIF wrap. TIF is trans oral incisionless fundoplication. Together we improve quality of life and prevent esophageal cancer. Imagine not needing anti acids or PPIs ever again. Imagine eating meals without burning or pain. Come and see us!

Anyone can get tested and if you’re a provider especially a primary care physician it’s time to learn about this test and offer it.

I understand Mr. Cuomo’s fear and anxiety. He’s diagnose and prescribed a treatment that is giving him his best life and he’s doing all the right things. Taking that away potentially from him or others is not the right move. More education, awareness, access PLUS medicine is the right move. Are we using a hammer instead of a scalpel here? That’s what it feels like. I hope the policy is matched with balanced initiatives.

Just my initial reaction…. I heard in Spain as passengers return they will quarantine. Seems logical to me. Will have to see what details have emerged behind this thought process for us in the USA.

Before and after a single varithena treatment for those pesky visible veins. In this case there was a bit of luck. The accessory target was feeding these pretty directly. I was thrilled for this patient. She had this unsightly long segment on her shin and a small cluster under the knee ever since pregnancy with her last child! She was thrilled to get it taken care of and her legs are feeling better overall!
