Summary

  • I graduated Temple Medical School and went on to complete my residency in Emergency Medicine. After seeing so many patients suffering from opioid and benzodiazepine addictions as well many suffering from untreated chronic pain or anxiety, I began my education in marijuana medicine. After working for a large certification company, I started my own practice, Cannabis Care Consultants, to provide a truly medicinal and personalized service to my patients. I believe in the benefits of medical marijuana and advocates its use as a safe and effective alternative to traditional medications. Cannabis Care Consultants is a medical practice that strives for continuity of care and quality care.
