Recently retired as Clinical Associate Professor of Family Medicine at University of Rochester Medical Center. I have spent many years as a community family medicine doctor and have been voted one of America’s Top Doctors for over 25 consecutive years. I have been honored with several community service awards including the Edward Mott Moore Award from the Monroe County Medical Society as well as the Geriatric Prize from the Monroe County Medical Society. I am now focused on the problem of medication nonadherence through the development of MediTeddi, an interactive, furry electronic medication coach.
