Like most people, my patients are concerned about Alzheimer’s disease. When Alzheimer’s is diagnosed at an earlier stage, medications may be able to slow the progression; however, historically, Alzheimer’s diagnostic tests have been limited. There is good news. The FDA approved a blood test in 2025 that can help diagnose Alzheimer’s during earlier stages. If you think you may be experiencing Alzheimer’s symptoms, reach out to me. Here’s what you need to know about this new test.

For many years, the only way to positively diagnose Alzheimer's disease was studying the brain after a patient had died. But medical advances like advanced scanning combined with memory tests and family history has made it easier for physicians to diagn...

Most of my patients are not familiar with phthalates. These “everywhere chemicals” are found in many household and personal care items, and leach into the environment. They’re problematic because they can disrupt the endocrine system, damage the reproductive and neurological systems, and have been linked to obesity, asthma, allergies and some forms of cancer. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to lower your exposure to phthalates. Here’s what you need to know. https://bit.ly/4vx5t49

Many household and personal care products list the chemical compounds phthalates among their ingredients. Phthalates are often referred to as “everywhere chemicals,” because they're commonly used and continuously leach into the environment.

I always encourage my patients to get between seven and nine hours of quality sleep each night. However, some of my patients like to burn the midnight oil and take naps when needed. That’s not a healthy approach. A recent study found that people who nap regularly have higher blood pressure. Here’s what you need to know.

American adults love napping. In fact, 80.7 percent of U.S. adults reported napping at least 10 minutes in the past three months, according to a survey conducted by the Sleep Foundation. Results from the same survey also showed that 30.5 percent of Amer...

Did you know that dietary potassium, found in fruits and vegetables like bananas, sweet potatoes and spinach can help control blood pressure? Read more on our blog.

Did you ever wonder why I always check your vitamin D levels and ask if you’re taking your supplements? This blog, written by my colleague, Dr. Andrea Klemes, MDVIP’s chief medical officer, explains the importance of the sunshine vitamin.

When it comes to keeping our bodies functioning, Vitamin D plays a starring role. Often called the "sunshine vitamin," it's one of the 13 essential vitamins our bodies need for growth and maintenance. Yet, despite its importance, more than 40 percent of American adults don't get enough of it. Here.....

Members of MDVIP-affiliated practices experience 72% fewer hospitalizations compared to traditional primary care patients. The average hospital stay costs more than $17,000, and many visits can be much more expensive.

The MDVIP model of personalized preventive care allows the physician to take a more proactive, rather than reactive, approach; we believe this increased physician interaction is the reason for the lower hospital utilization and ultimately lower healthcare costs seen here.
