About

Being a physician with a dual doctorate (M.D. & D.C.) background has provided me with the opportunity to provide a service that will differentiate me from other healthcare providers. My unique approach to the practice and delivery of healthcare is that I'll comprehensively incorporate all of my knowledge that I've accumulated from both curriculum's thereby allowing me to perform a detailed investigation of every anatomical and physiological system of the human body to identify the system or process that is in the state of DYS-EASE. Once I've localized the abnormality, I can then begin to [prepare a plan to begin the process of normalization of these systems thereby allowing the naturally occurring processes to function at their optimal capacity and without any adverse stimuli or physiological interruption. I personally believe that this is the ideal method to practice healthcare as it satisfies the three crucial components of any effective strategy. Practical, Logical and Universal. "Practical" because by adhering to the ideas and principles that I briefly discussed, I have found that this is the most effective way to achieve my end goal for all of my patients, which is true wellness and everlasting health. "Logical" because it makes perfect sense. These naturally occurring algorithms of physiological processes have been extensively researched and discussed throughout the years. A keen understanding of these processes will allow the responsible practitioner to make the necessary adjustments to prepare the necessary treatment protocols and thus, determining the most appropriate course of action. And last, but certainly not least, it must be "Universal" in that this paradigm must be able to be applied to all human beings irrespective race, sex, religion and/or gender. By utilizing this method to practice healthcare, every pathological process can carefully be analyzed and assessed to determine which steps can be taken to facilitate the process of normalization.

  • I am suffering from neck and shoulder pain since I was a child. What should I do?

    Come see me at my office in Redondo Beach. If do not live near my location, then I would recommend to either go to Yelp or Google and perform a research on your local Chiropractor with the best and most well rounded set of credentials. What should you look for when performing your research? 1) Education level 2) Professional background, experience and level of training 3) Look inthe more common social media platforms and research to see if the doctor has a professional facebook profile, linkedin profile and/or any of the other social media outlets. -Sometimes, you'll have access to their Curriculum Vitae which essentially is a complete resume of their educational and employment background. -This will give you a better understanding of the overall history of the doctor and give a you a piece of mind knowing that you are trusting your health and livelihood to a person who is qualified to provide you with the best service possible.

  • I have undergone about 5 X-rays in the last 2 months for my spinal problem. Are there any risks?

    It is professionally and ethically irresponsible that you have been X-rayed 5 times over the last 2 months for what you called a "slight spinal problem". The level of exposure to radiation is 5 times of what you should actually have been exposed to. Depending on your condition, the severity, the length of exposure (it's chronicity or timeline) and it's presenting symptoms as well as the signs that you are reporting will determine the exact location to be X-rayed. Typically, you would only perform an initial X-ray to aid the physician in arriving at a particular diagnosis, aid in formulating a treatment protocol or use as a baseline measure when beginning a treatment for a specific disorder. The second time that you should undergo an X-ray is during the re-evaluation to document your progress in response to the treatment protocol. From my experience, this should be at a minimum of 4-6 months from the initial radiograph and that is basically it. At no time should you have to undergo 5 set of radiographs in a span of 2 months. No, no and no! To say that the radiation can definitely lead to problems in the future is not accurate at this point in time. It could, however it is a bit premature to ascertain such a statement. However, the likelihood of your chances of having a sequelae in the future from this incident is definitely increased. I can make that statement with confidence. Also, the skill, knowledge and experience of the person taking your radiographs is a significant factor. Were the settings correct? Did he/she use the proper shielding? Does he/she know how to interpret the charts when making their determination as to the setting to be utilized? All of these play an important role in shooting a high quality radiograph and thus minimizing your exposure to radiation. I would also think that if you continue to go to the same physician that overexposed you to those X-rays, I would be confident in saying that your back pain would deteriorate and worsen with time. The reason being is that in my 25 years plus in the healthcare industry, I have never been associated with a physician who would do such a thing or heard of such an instance where this would be the case. With that being said, I would not be confident in thinking that this particular physician would be skilled enough or have the knowledge to properly address your health concerns. READ MORE

  • Can an X-ray diagnose a spinal deformity?

  • My husband has a bone growth in his ankle. What should we do?

    When performing an investigation regarding your husband's bone growth at his ankle, many questions needs to be addressed prior to determining the appropriate course of action. First, what is the age of your husband? Is the bone growth at his ankle the only site of involvement? Has he ever been diagnosed with Gout? Is there anybody in his immediate family afflicted with Gout? Where exactly on his ankle is the growth? Does his symptoms intensify with consumption of red meat, wine, cheese or any other particular food? A focused examination of the site of involvement and an X-ray of the growth is warranted prior to making any treatment decision to remedy his situation. READ MORE
