"I implore you — even if it’s difficult — if you don’t like your doctor, take the time and find a new one!

How do you do that? Check your insurance for who they cover, and then ask your friends who they see and like. Google the physician. Google the practice. Google the hospital.

Put as much effort into this as you would buying a car. This person needs to be reliable, safe, up-to-date and needs to make sense for you.

Let’s all make 2021 the year we take better care of ourselves.

You deserve excellent care and goodness of fit."
