 About Dr. Vicki
Dr. Vicki helps you become a more active participant in your health care and make consistent choices that promote your health. Drawing on her experience as a board-certified surgeon, clinical instructor at the University of Washington School and mother, Dr. Vicki helps you change the way you think, feel and act about your health. She helps you overcome common obstacles that get between you and the vibrant life you want to lead.
Shaping your journey to health
Your journey to health is like a car ride. The truth is that most people just react to health events like they're unrestrained back-seat passengers in a white-knuckle trip to an unknown destination. Dr. Vicki’s goal is to put you in the driver's seat, strap you in, and give you a map and access to current road and weather conditions. She helps define choices to make along the way.
- You can get in the car with the intention of getting somewhere...or you can go with the intention of enjoying the ride along the way...or both.
- You can go for a joy ride, making turns at whim ...or you can have a destination in mind...or both.
- You can decide if you want to take the scenic route... or the most direct route... or both.
- When it comes to mechanical car problems, you can be reactive... or you can be proactive and make sure your car is in top running shape before you start your trip.
- When you hit unexpected road conditions or detours or weather condition, you can say, shaking your fist, "Why is this happening to me? Don't they know I need to get there?"...or, taking a deep breath, "This is an unpleasant surprise. What's the best way to handle this?"
Promoting health
Dr. Vicki helps you understand something neither she nor your doctor learned in medical school. Most diseases that doctors treat could be avoided with better day-to-day lifestyle choices. She identifies the small manageable steps in the ounce of prevention that help you avoid the pound of cure.
Getting quality health care
Dr. Vicki believes that you can flourish, even in this rapidly-changing health care environment. Here’s the secret. Despite vast technologic advancements, the most powerful medical intervention out there is still a caring relationship between you and your doctor. Based on her experience with thousands of patients in her career as a surgeon, Dr. Vicki shows you how to strengthen this partnership. She will suggest what you can do and say to get the health care you want, need and deserve. Small, simple steps you can take today can have big health pay-offs. Dr. Vicki reminds you that good health care is not an end in itself; it’s a means to a vibrant life.
