My move to an office in historic downtown Laurel marked the realization of a dream that my partner, Barbara White, MSN, CRNP, a nurse practitioner (right), and I have talked about for many years. We have had a vision of creating a different kind of healing place together -- a place where our visitors, clients, patients, and guests will feel comfortable and welcome from the moment they enter the office. Our respective practices remain separate, but we share a vision of what we want our practice atmosphere to be like. With this vision in mind, we've incorporated some non-traditional features into the new office, such as:

• comfortable furniture in the waiting area and news (or educational DVDs) on our flat screen TV;
• the beautiful artwork of Israeli artist, Dorit Levi, and of local artists, Selma Gold and James Raymonds;
• a refrigerator filled with bottled water in the waiting area for visitors to enjoy (free of charge);
• a Coffee Desk where visitors can fix themselves a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate while they wait for their appointments or meetings (again, free of charge);
• a Book Swap where visitors can take a book or leave a book (to facilitate the recycling of good books);
• a Healing Words board -- a magnetic board where visitors can find or leave healing, comforting, or helpful words for themselves or someone else. 

Barbara's office phone number is 301-617-2767. For more information about her and her practice, please visit her website by clicking on the link to the left of her picture (above).

We hope you will enjoy our office as much as we do! 

Important Note: We have an "office dog," a dachshund, named Gunther. If you are allergic to dogs, please inform us before coming to our office.
