I have an exciting announcement and important news! Beginning on Monday, October 5, 2009, I am joining my practice with Dr. Janice Piro at Piro Clinic of Natural Medicine.

Janice and I are good friends and have been each others' personal doctors since the 1980s. She and I attended classes together for 3 years in North Carolina as we both became certified Chiropractic Internists. Some of you already know Dr. Piro as she treated you during my leave of absence. We considered working together in the past, and this move supports the goals and intentions of both of our practices.

Starting on Monday, Oct 5th, I will see patients at :

Piro Clinic of Natural Medicine
971-B Virginia Avenue
Clearwater, FL 33758-8026

The office is conveniently located in Palm Harbor, next to the Post Office on Alt. 19, a few blocks north of Tampa Road (SR 584) (see map). If you travel from Tampa or St. Petersburg, expect equal or shorter travel time compared to my Clearwater location.

Starting on Monday, my new office phone number will be (727) 789-4020. Calls to my old phone number will be automatically forwarded to Piro Clinic starting on Monday, Oct. 5th.

My appointment schedule will be:
Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings

Piro Clinic office hours are:
Monday, Wednesday and Friday - 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Tuesday and Thursday - 1:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Dr. Piro and I are excited to work together and look forward to providing our more than 50 years of combined expertise for your benefit. Meanwhile if you have any questions or concerns, please call me.

See you soon!

My chiropractic internist gathering in Cincinnati two weekends ago was great, although intense. We had 24 hours of presenters in two-and-a-half days. PHEW!

I love being with this group of doctors. Many of them are from the group I studied with in Charlotte, NC every month for 2-and-a-half years in the mid-90?��s during my original post-doctorate courses. All of these chiropractors are dedicated to being full-care natural physicians for their patients. It is very different for me compared to most chiropractic continuing education seminars which are much more limited in their scope. I feel like I am with my group.

There was a tremendous amount of information that I have already began to implement in my patients?�� care. As I review and study my 10 pounds of notes there will be more to come to help people even more.

I want to let you know that we are officially open until 6 PM on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. Most of those evenings we are here at least until 7-7:30 PM wrapping things up, preparing for the next day?��s patients, etc. If you need to pick up supplements in the evening, please call before 6PM so we can get them ready for you. And if you?��ll be by after we?��ve left, we can hang them on the door for you.

I want to make sure that you have the supplements you need to help you reach your health goals and if evening pick-up is easier for you, we are here. Also, we can ship supplements to you if that is easier.

We had a very successful response to our ?�?Spring into Health?�? new patient special. Thank you to all of you who referred your friends and family members to start care.

As a result of this, as well as wanting to help people during the current economic downturn our country is experiencing, I have decreased our new patient exam fee to $425. This includes the extensive health interview, personalized and very detailed examination, and a through report of my findings with recommendations on how to begin turning around the current health situation.

For the holidays our office will be closed from December 24th through December 26th. WE WILL BE OPEN ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27th. We will then be closed through January 1st. We will reopen at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 2nd. Be sure to schedule your appointments and stock up on your supplements. Happy holidays!

A good thing to have on hand during this treat-filled holiday is Homeopathic Sugar. When you or a family member has had an excessive intake of sugar, Homeopathic Sugar can help alleviate many of the negative symptoms that may result. We carry a 2 FL oz. dropper for $19.50.

This is not so much a health tip as it is a heads-up. I want to let you know that the office will be open only limited hours for supplement purchases and appointment scheduling from Tuesday, October 16th through Tuesday, October 23rd. I will be in Paris celebrating my 50th birthday with three of my sisters! It has been a place I?��ve wanted to visit since I took my first French class when I was twelve and this seemed like a perfect time to do so. Call the office at (727) 449-0121 during that week for more specific details regarding the hours that someone will be here to assist you .
