I am a general internist with over 25 years of experience caring for adults. As a physician working in a hospital-affiliated practice, I specialized in caring for people with HIV infection, people struggling with substance use disorders, and those requiring palliative care of chronic and terminal conditions. Starting my career in San Francisco at the peak of the AIDS crisis, I quickly learned of the powerful effects of cannabis in helping my patients live with greater ease.

In 2015, I became certified to prescribe medical marijuana for the purpose of alleviating suffering. Since that time, I have evaluated numerous patients in face-to-face visits. No longer seeing patients in an office or hospital setting, I am now offering medical marijuana re-certification to the residents of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts via a telehealth (internet-based) visit. My intention is to provide eligible individuals safe, affordable access to medical marijuana certification for use at established dispensaries.
