Walk with a Doc Newsletter Good Morning Goal-Setter! Where are my manners, I should’ve asked. Are you a goal-setter? I love goals but I don’t like talking about myself, so let’s talk about Kristin. She loves it when I talk about her in the newsletter. When my wife prepares for a marathon, she sets many […]

Walk with a Doc Newsletter Good morning! I have to share a HIPAA-filtered patient visit I experienced on Wednesday. It was actually yesterday; I’m not permitted to give the real date.

You walked […]

Walk with a Doc Newsletter Good morning! So, we hit 500. On the flight home from SFO, my thoughts centered around how I would ideally choose to celebrate WWAD reaching this milestone.
