I did not finish my chiropractic degree at Palmer College of Chiropractic. I left early to obtain my MD. However, you can verify I was active in their research department looking up the following article and checking my name in the “Acknowledgements” section:
A survey of chiropractors practicing in Germany: practice characteristics, professional reading habits, and attitudes and perceptions toward research.

Primary care - general health management for adults and children, preventative health, physicals, basic at home labs, lab/procedure review, yearly home visits and checkups, direct physician access, prescription management, herbal management, and referrals to specialists if needed.
Urgent care - sick visits, laceration repair, basic medication injections, IV fluids, ingrown toenail removal, nose bleeds, skin tag removal, splinting, and basic abscess/cyst drainage.
Wait List - This is for those without the means to pay for a good primary care physician. Money to fund this list will come from art sales on the website after taxes are paid. Uncle Sam wants his cut first.
Charity Art - This is meant to provide funds to assist in the health management of those who cannot afford my services. Other artists may also donate or sell me their works to host on my site as well.
Art Classes/Cooking Demonstrations - A great way to learn a new skill, get to know your provider, support the business, possibly boost your mood, or have fun with friends. I believe a healthy lifestyle has a good helping of art and creativity with good food present.

My prices are fair and upfront without any surprises weeks, months, or years later. No billing department, no collections department, no chart auditors for insurance reimbursement maximizations, no useless HR department, no office, no staff, and no insurance paperwork.
I am actively working on ways to cover members with less means WITHOUT relying on tax payer dollars. Saving you money America!
I am NOT bound by the “strong recommendations” of insurance companies or hospital financial departments. Getting payment directly from you ensures that my opinion and/or treatment plan is not influenced by corporate insurance or hospitals.
Additional Info: Did you know many hospitals/organizations only hire doctors/workers on a yearly basis? They will often not renew a contract if they do not play-ball or conform to their specific business guidelines? If your doctor says anything about this, they would be immediately sued, likely from an arbitration court from somewhere like Delaware, Rhode Island, etc. They are also often made to work or move far away as part of non-competition contract clauses once let go. All of this makes it looks like the physician/provider abandoned you instead of the hospital. Shame, shame…shame.
Although the law states corporations are people, I bet you that I will care about you more than any corporation ever will. That is a promise and in writing.

Memberships are available for easiest physician access and care.
To become an established member or request that I become your primary care physician, one At-Home visit will have to be completed yearly and any recommended follow-ups.
Not looking for any of the above and have a quick issue? Just schedule an Immediate/New Patient visit via Tele-Health.
At-Home Urgent Visits are only guaranteed once scheduled with me personally. I will call before arrival and confirm as well.
-
Call 906-318-9405 and leave a message if I do not pick up right away. I will get back to you as soon as possible.
You may also contact me via this website at the bottom of the Home page.
Members will be given other means to contact me with HIPPA compliance.

Book several appointments with others in the same county on the same day, become a member, or schedule an appointment when I will be in town. Please see the calendar for any upcoming events and locations.

Just tell me which piece(s) you are interested in seeing prints being made available. I will work on those ASAP and post it in the shop. Currently, my priority is just to get every original piece being offered up on the site with good full descriptions.
-
I am. And you probably are too, but may not know it.
-
Yes. I have always been lucky enough to taste foods in my mind before creating them, while being able to recall specific notes of a meal even decades later.
Cooking is also an art. If you would like me to cook a delicious meal for you and/or others instead of an art session, just let me know when booking an Art session. I will bring all cooking supplies, power (if off grid), fuel, food/beverages, etc. You supply the plates, tables, chairs, and company.

Yes. I got my baseline bachelors in molecular biology (interconnected chemistry/biology degree). I did exceptionally well in chemistry lab and continue to run my own personal lab and experiments to this day with great success.
I got two additional master’s degrees at the same time as my MD. I got an additional master’s in science focusing on pressurized medicine and a masters in business administration in health care management.
I enjoy learning and knowledge. The more you learn, the more you learn how much you do not know. So….You seek more knowledge. Rinse and repeat.

I’ve enjoyed gardening my entire life. I was greenhouse manager at my college. During college Summer/Winter breaks, I worked at Mercer Garden and Arboretum in Spring, TX four years in a row.
I have a dense personal and medicinal garden that is over 5 years mature. It is managed nutritionally using bokashi buckets, 10-20 thousand red wrigglers, fungal-life incorporation, and comfry plant nutrient reclamation.
I am also well versed and experienced in aquaponics/hydroponics and foraging.
-
I have made many inventions and projects over my life-time. I will post photos eventually, but these are a low-priority comprared to everything else.
-
Once funds are available (after April of each year), I will begin offering yearly memberships to those without insurance and who can prove significant financial hardships.
Just contact me and request to get on this list.
-
If I am able to make it, I will come visit you in the hospital to check up on you and your care, while offering assistance if requested or possible.
I do no work-for or am affiliated with any hospital. Just like a visitor, I will need your permission to see you.

I am glad you asked. Without question: Regular Show - Gary vs David Synthesizer Duel
Gary (aka corporation) = red synth
David (aka Dr. Cooper) = green synth ;)Video explanation: “The point of the duel was to see who could make better music, since from David's point of view music is not worth it if it is dissonant and does not respect a pattern, while Gary thinks that music should be free and dissonant. At first we see how David attacks Gary with a series of notes that scale with rhythm. Gary responds with an impromptu melody that rarely repeats the same notes. Then we reached the peak of the confrontation, where both melodies were supposed to face each other. But to David's surprise, instead of confronting Gary, he makes their melodies combine to finally close with their dissonance. In other words, Gary through a dissonant melody managed to control and absorb a harmonious melody, thus creating a perfect melody. David shocked at this revealed truth can not say anything more than "thanks" - @jeremysolano398

The music video of Do the Evolution by Pearl Jam comes to mind. It should speak for itself.
