Looking for a medical👩‍⚕️ professional to take over my lease.

750 sq ft
1 exam room
1 bathroom
ADA compliant
$1810.50/month
in a medical complex for potential referrers

Great for:
-solo practice doctor starting - keep overhead low
-a busy practice branching out
-optometrist
-dentist
-speech therapist
-physical therapist
-occupational therapist

After 1-1/2 years of starting a solo practice, I need space.

I'm so happy 🌞I started solo practice. I'm so grateful for all the patients from my old practice who searched for me & entrusted🙏 me with their care. I am so grateful & thankful to all the doctors who referred all their patients to me trusting me with their patients.

The 1st year was full of⛰ bumps, learning my way, figuring out insurances, learning the psychology 🧠of networking which is pretty cool, figuring out the psychology🧠 of why some people 😎🥸come & some people go🤠🥸🤓 & to be ok with it. I learned so much about new things I never fathomed I'd be doing.

So now I need space, I have no space to take ☎️📞calls, no place to room patients while they sit in my lobby. It's not a bad problem to have because I'm growing!
.. and so now I take the next 👡👠step in my journey and plan to move to a larger space...in 40 days. Sorry I can't answer any questions ❓⁉️from patients who may be following me due to HIPAA but I'm so excited✨🧨🎇🎆🎉🎈 to say that I'm looking for someone to take over my lease. Please DM me for any questions.

I'm so excited. With it comes more challenges🏞🏔 & responsibilities. I know it's not going to be easy. The 1st year wasn't. But despite that I love🎆🎇✨ being my own boss so much & being able to control my schedule, my time, my goals & continue to grow & take care of my patients as I see fit.

Exciting times. I outgrew my space!!! After 1- 1/2 years of starting a part-time solo practice on the middle of a pandemic, I'm bursting at the seams & I'm looking for a medical professional to take over my lease.

(If you're a patient following me I cannot respond due to HIPAA)
-750 sq ft
-1 exam room
-1 bathroom
-ADA-compliant
-great for keeping overhead low
-partially furnished
-4014 Sawyer Rd., Sarasota, FL 34233
-surrounded by busy medical practices

This is great for:
-doctors starting out
-👓optometrists
-🧤physical therapists
-🧤massage therapists
-🥼new medical residency graduates
-👄speech therapists

If you are an employed physician, I strongly urge you to go solo and take control over how you practice medicine. There is nothing more satisfying than being your own boss and practicing how medicine was meant to be practiced (aside from insurance issues). There are far less middlemen, administrative control over schedule or your practice. You set-up your practice and schedule as you see fit.

As with anything there are growing pains, a steep learning curve. But I wished I could've started sooner.

I practice 9-1:30pm
No call except answering urgent phone calls.

Primum non nocere. Take medicine back.

2022: ✨Make next year an empowering one!! Take your power back.

Disclaimer: Info only not advice talk to your doctor

1-Regain control🚘
If you're not 🚫doing something about a situation it doesn't do any good to keep talking about it.

Harness that 🌊energy and analyze how to change the situation. You cannot⛔ control others around you or a situation. But you can choose how to respond, react or change the situation. If not feasible learn to adapt to keep stress levels low.
For example, you dislike⛔ your job, workload is crazy and you have no 🚫say. Why stay in it? Look for something else or open your own business📈. Life is far too short to be in a situation you dislike.

2- Let go of toxic people
You cannot🚫 control other people or their behavior. You do control your reactions and you control whether you can 🚶‍♀️walk away. No need to engage.

For instance, you know someone just constantly brings you ⬇️down. There's no need to interact with that person, if necessary keep contact brief but do not engage. Or remove🚫 yourself from the situation-move away, ask to get transferred, limit contact. Many ways to do this.

3-Let go of toxic 🚫habits
If you know it's bad for you why do it. In the end it does you no⛔ good. You can get satisfaction short-term but doesn't help you long-term and any positive goals long-term.
For instance- you know you have heartburn but still eat spicy 🧆food. Why go there. You know you had a heart🫀attack but continue to stay sedentary, smoke and eat fatty🥓 food. You do not help the situation

You have more 💪power than you know. You control your 🧠thoughts, reactions😲 and actions.

Make 2022 an empowering year

Enjoy the season. Don't be stressed...take time, breathe, relax..that said..

Just saw this amazing display, 250,000 lights on Saddle Creek. Saddle Creek is off Clark Rd. just across the Sarasota National Cemetery-drive all the way in he neighborhood for about 1/2 mile it's on the left side you can't miss it. Check it out! The owner said her husband starts 2 months before you can walk through it. Starts 6-10pm. Video came out blurry so I added clearer footage in comments.. Thanks to Dr. & Mrs. Dunn for this spectacular display. This should be on the news

Excited to be voted by colleagues as a Top Doctor in Neurology in 10 counties. I was mentioned in SRQ magazine woo-hoo! Proud to serve

Exercise is good for you.. I've always wanted to do kickboxing.
I had my first class.
Had a great workout at with Michele.
It has some overlap with Tae Kwon Do and Boxing. I had to pace myself because it's been awhile since I did a class in the martial arts category which is a very physical sport. I remember some of the kicks from my old Tae Kwon Do classes I used to do and some of the moves from a boxing class I once did. But I've never done kickboxing it looks like a combination of both. I remember being so sore in my arms a day later after an intense boxing class so I didn't exert myself as much today
Maybe next week I'll start giving a little more punch. It's great because we have one punching bag each.. It''s hard I found when I practiced kicks in the air when I used to do Tae Bo because then your force in the foot strains your joints. The punching bags absorbed all the force which is great.

We did:
-front kicks
-side kicks
-roundhouse kicks

For boxing we did:
-jabs
-cross hits
-uppercuts
-hooks

Also did some core exercises

I had lots of fun. My heart was racing.
I need to work on my push ups but it's all good.

Check it out!
Coastal Kickboxing
2030 Harvard St
Sarasota, FL

I'll take more videos before classes start. Come join me in my new adventure or better yet, join a local kickboxing club!

Lupus and the nervous system

In systemic lupus erythematosus, the body recognizes itself as foreign with antibodies present. The disorder causes multi-organ dysfunction.

One system is the nervous system.
occur because tiny little arteries can get clogged up die to the inflammatory process itself causing strokes. By the same token, when pathways aren't working one can have problems thinking called encephalopathy.

Sometimes the pathway is affected causing patients to form clots which move up to the blood vessels in the brain.

Some patients may have coming from areas of the brain that don't work right.

Patients can develop nerve problems.

Patients can have due to involvement of the arteries themselves.

These are only a few but most common.

A neurologist is trained in recognizing neurological complications and in treating patients.

Happy 1 year anniversary to Elite Neurology!!!

Why am I doing my happy dance?!
It’s rewarding when a patient tells me they feel better especially after I recommend CBD or other cannabinoids....

-anxiety
-seizures
-pain from various conditions

And so many more... It has anti-inflammatory properties so the possibilities are endless...
.
CBD 🌿what is it?
Cannabidiol or CBD is derived from Cannabis sativa. Cannabis sativa is bred 2 ways: for commercial use (ropes, clothing👚👕, construction material etc) & for medicinal purposes...
CBD 🌿is legal and non-psychoactive. From the Cannabis sativa plant, several components are extracted: phytocannabinoids, flavonoids, terpenes, oils, resins...
CBD isolate ☘️is when CBD is used alone...
CBD full spectrum 🍃is when CBD is combined with the other extracted products: phytocannabinoids, flavonoids, terpenes, and a trace amount of THC tetrahydrocannabinol. The legal ⚖️limit is 0.3%...flavonoids have anti-inflammatory properties, terpenes give the quality of the product (anxiety helping, activating, anti-inflammatory among others)...
CBD broad spectrum 🌱is when CBD is combined with the other extracted products: phytocannabinoids, flavonoids, terpenes, with no THC tetrahydrocannabinol....
It is becoming increasingly used for🏩 medical purposes...

What is syndrome?

Disclaimer: this is medical information only not advice please talk to your doctor...

Why am I so passionate about . I see the end product of . By the time patients see me I review their MRI’s it’s far too late for me to do anything...arteries are already clogged up. I can not reverse that...
That’s why it’s so important to avoid having the metabolic syndrome on the first place...
-large circumference of the waist
-high glucose
-high cholesterol

This is the precursor state before high blood pressure, , and .

By the time I see them it’s too late for me to counsel. Lifestyle modifications should have been in place in the 40’s and 50’s before it gets worse.

resistance is when cannot be absorbed in the cells. More insulin is produced. So high glucose levels are floating in your system..

Benefits of CBD in patients with seizures

Disclaimer: information only not advice talk to your doctor

I incorporate cannabinoids extensively in my practice. For the medical community looking for evidence, there has been research showing benefit of CBD in epilepsy (Devinsky, New England Journal of Medicine, 2017). Because it’s a plant, the medical community has been slow to adopt CBD as part of the armamentarium for treatment of seizures. Clinically, it does wonders.

A higher ratio of cbd or cannabidiol is far better for seizure control compared to a 1:1 ratio or lower ratios of CBD from dispensaries.

The over-the-counter full spectrum CBD seems to have some value as well in practice.

Definition of terms:
1-full-spectrum CBD-there is a legal amount of tetrahydrocannabinol of 0.3%. Taking the flower as a whole with all components work far better than an isolate. This is called the entourage effect
2-CBD isolate-is when CBD is isolated, far less effective because only CBD by itself is used here
3-CBD broad spectrum-THC is taken out but has the rest of the plant including terpenes and flavonoids. There are no potential side effects of psychoactivity because THC is absent.

Temporal lobe epilepsy

It’s Epilepsy Awareness month. Time to inform a little more about my subspecialty...
Temporal lobe epilepsy is one of the most common types of epilepsy. Now it’s called localization-related epilepsy, temporal lobe...
The temporal lobe is important for:
1-language (usually over the left) specifically comprehension over the left
2-memory
3-it’s also close to the insula

Symptoms pertain to the area
