About Dr. Amr Shady

I believe a good primary care physician should devote equal time and attention in three key areas: 1) helping patients work toward disease prevention through education and screenings; 2) supporting patients as they work to manage chronic illness; and 3) taking more time to communicate with specialists. Unfortunately, I find that in traditional medical practice, where a physician may see a panel of 2,000 patients or more, there is little time to do anything but provide basic care—reacting to problems in lieu of providing more support to patients who want to prevent them.
