My philosophy of practice has always been to put my patients’ care first which means that my visits are unhurried and thorough with a focus on early diagnosis, health maintenance and preventive care. My office incorporates a wellness center with programs that include physical assessments, exercise counseling and nutrition counseling.<\/p>\n I care for patients with chronic disease and physical disabilities to bring them to their highest level of functioning in order to return to a full and active lifestyle. Our fitness programs are also utilized by patients who strive to achieve healthy living and well-being. We offer stress reduction groups as well.<\/p>\n I believe that a close collaborative relationship should exist between the patient and the physician. We are a team working together to achieve the ideal outcomes for your ongoing health. MDVIP shares my philosophy of healthcare delivery and through my affiliation with the national leaders in personalized healthcare, I can further enhance the level of care I am able to provide to my patients.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tEducation\n American Board of Internal Medicine<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tHospital Affiliations\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Danbury Hospital<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tProfessional Affiliations & Appointments\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMedical Director<\/strong> Connecticut<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dr. Jeffrey P.
