After two decades of practice and thousands of patients, I’m thankful for every opportunity to share the knowledge I’ve gained. Whether it’s an interview or a seminar, I consider it my duty to reach the widest audience possible and educate others on eldercare.
Here are a few of my media appearances, where I’ve talked about various topics:
