About
I specialize in vaccine counseling by taking time to understand each patient's individual health history, concerns, and lifestyle before discussing immunization options. Using evidence-based information and motivational interviewing techniques, I help patients work through vaccine hesitancy and make confident decisions about their immunization schedules. I'm available for telehealth consultations to address questions about childhood vaccines, adult immunizations, travel health requirements, and prevention strategies for conditions like influenza, COVID-19, and shingles.
Services offered
I provide comprehensive telehealth vaccine counseling for patients of all ages seeking to understand their immunization options and make informed health decisions. During our secure video or phone consultations, I review individual medical histories, discuss specific vaccine schedules, address health concerns or previous adverse reactions, and explain the evidence behind immunization recommendations. I work with patients experiencing vaccine hesitancy by exploring their specific questions without judgment, using evidence-based information to help them understand benefits and risks. I also counsel patients preparing for international travel, adults seeking catch-up immunizations, those managing immunocompromised conditions, and families navigating childhood vaccine schedules. My approach emphasizes clear communication, personalized education, and supporting patients in making healthcare choices aligned with their values and medical needs.
