About the Author
A board-certified family physician and patient advocate, I am author of and . It is important that people understand their healthcare options so they can live healthier, happier lives. I aim to help people in whatever way I can to achieve that goal. My adventures extend to the red carpet as a literal "movie doctor", a family physician who writes movie reviews for an east coast syndicated newspaper. Film and press events have brought me from New York to LA where I have been privileged to interview actors Martin Landau and Robert Patrick among others. One day I hope to bring my medical thriller to the big screen. Aside from doctoring, movie watching and writing, I am the mother of two awesome kids. How lucky can one woman be? I also LOVE reading and have found inspiration in running, recently completing my first half marathon. Kick up those feet and get going!
