For over 40 years I have managed anatomic, clinical and specialty laboratories in the hospital and commercial settings. Laboratory medicine is a stimulating field that is continually evolving and has given me a unique perspective on providing consultative services to primary care physicians and specialists. As medical director for AristaMD, I have the opportunity to apply this insight to specialty consultative services to enhance patient care and save time and money associated with unnecessary specialist referrals. Improving the lives of patients and enhancing practice satisfaction of care providers is what motivates me to continue in the adoption of new technologies and innovative methods. I believe that these strategies can reduce health care expenditures and increase medical accessibility. Outside of my work, I’m also a proponent of strategic thinking and cutting-edge tactics in other medical areas. What should be the role of liquid biopsies in the management of patients with cancer? How to efficiently manage the opioid epidemic.
