Professional/Personal Overview
From the ordinary (reducing the risk of a heart attack) to the bizarre (using patients' own teeth to restore vision), I've got your medical topic covered. I write for doctors and laypeople, print and new media. Need an editor? I'll help make your writing clear, consistent, and organized.
