205 South Main Street Thomaston Connecticut, 6787About
I am a solo internist practicing primary care with admitting privileges in 2 local hospitals: Waterbury Hospital and St. Mary's Hospital. I also have privileges in 2 nursing homes, Cook Willow in Plymouth, CT and also Highland Health Center in Cheshire, CT. I have a physician assistant that helps with the patient flow. The office sees a variety of acute and chronic illnesses; school and DOT physicals are performed on a daily basis. There is an xray on site. Most insurances and worker's compensation are accepted. Office hours are Monday-Friday 9:30a.m.-4:30 p.m. and has 24-hour coverage, 7 days a week. I am known for my thoroughness and attentiveness to patients' problems and needs. I was recently awarded the Patient's Choice Award by my patients. Less than 5% of physicians nationwide, receive this award through the nomination of their patients. I am deeply honored and thankful for this recognition.
