Four years ago I wanted to practice medicine in a way that made sense – time, to listen to my patients; independent, of organized employed relationships; focus, on patients; communication, by e-mail or phone (sometimes texts!); appointments, by your request on-line or by phone. In this manner, I find I have been successful. I hope my patients feel the same way. Thanks to everyone who has been with me on this journey!

Still, there are many struggles with organized healthcare (that’s an oxymoron – what is organized about this crazy system?). I hope you continue to join me, to make this practice a great place to find the answers or direction for your optimal health. Feel free to send me suggestions.

Sorry, I am no longer accepting new patients.  Please check in the SPRING 2012 as this status may periodically change.

Dr. Julie Ortega-Schmitt, M.D.
