He got my blood pressure under control! This is the first time in 5 years that a medication regimen helped reduce my BP to normal levels. He looked at me with a wholistic lens. His staff communicated with me on My Chart and had me take BP's at home 2-3 hours. My primary was not able to control my blood pressure and I was self-referred. I'm very glad I made this decision! Thank you NM!

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
