Sound familiar?
You've done everything you were told. You still feel off.
The appointment lasted eight minutes. You were told it's probably stress. Or age. Or that your labs look fine, so there's nothing to worry about.
Maybe you left with a prescription and no real explanation. Maybe you've seen three specialists who never talked to each other, each looking at one piece of you.
Meanwhile you're tired, foggy, not sleeping well, and watching your blood pressure or cholesterol creep up year after year.
You're not imagining it. And you're not out of options.
“Normal” labs and feeling well are not the same thing.

Meet Susan
I spent years seeing the end of the story. Now I work earlier in it.
[Draft — Susan to edit]For nearly two decades I've worked as a nurse practitioner, much of it in cardiovascular care at NewYork-Presbyterian / Columbia in Manhattan.
In cardiology, I met people at the end of a long story: heart disease that had been building quietly for years through blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, inflammation, stress and poor sleep. Standard visits only had time to treat the numbers.
I built this practice to work earlier in that story, with time to listen and dig into the root cause, here in Rockland, close to home. I care for patients in English and in Spanish.
