Top 10 Things I am Asked About in my Practice:

By Dr. Orrange May 31, 2009 11:15pm 21 Comments

DrOrrange

1) Do I need an annual physical? As many of you know Medicare does NOT cover annual physicals... so the question is do you really need one?
For females over 40 you need to come in for an annual mammogram, and either a once a year or every three years (in low- risk folks) Pap smear.
For men and women over 40 I say you need to come in and this is …

Couples and Money – Honesty is the Best Policy

By Cyndi May 27, 2009 6:27pm 17 Comments

Defining Moments

Sunday, July 5, 2009 | An Inspiring story
