Welcome to My Office


Here at my little office in North Bennington I provide accessible, personal, holistic and sustainable health care. I care for people of all ages and all states of wellness. We work together for the best health possible: building confidence in self care and finding the help we need.

I am available in the office, or by cell phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with occasional exceptions. Scheduled appointments are 30-60 minutes long.  In addition to appointments scheduled ahead of time, I have walk-in time in the early morning and same-day appointments are available most days if requested.

Ample time and continuity are designed into this office. I keep my overhead low so that I can keep my practice small and thus personal. I use computer systems, email and internet resources to make this possible.

When you call or come to my office, you will likely find only me, your doctor, but there is a team here working behind the scenes and extending the care I can provide:


Donna Menneto handles medical billing and insurance authorizations.
Ned Wood thankfully maintains the computers, and all manner of other things.
Lynn Jones RN* is our nurse case manager who gives support to patients with new or complicated problems, sends reminders for needed care and other nursing duties.
Laura* provides psychotherapy on Monday mornings.
Rachel Rodney RD* provides nutritional counseling


I am a member of  Ideal Medical Practices and I participate in the the Vermont Blueprint for Health and am a certified Patient Centered Medical Home.
* Lynn, Laura and Rachel are employed by the Vermont Blueprint for Health. There services are available to you free of charge.
