SUMMARY
Clinical practice and teaching for approximately 15 years
Founded Pantheon Medicine, a personalized medical service organization designed to assist the individual in getting the best health care possible. Numerous studies have now documented that there is a bell curve for doctors. A small minority has disturbingly poor outcomes, a large unremarkable middle group has average outcomes, and a select minority has extraordinarily good results. Tapping this select minority of outstanding physicians to find the best doctor for a given individual in a specific clinical situation is an essential service of Pantheon Medicine. The field of medicine has become so specialized and inaccessible that people need a medical advisor, an insider, in the same way that they have acknowledged the need for financial or legal advisors.
