"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" ~ Benjamin Franklin

This site began as an effort to give YOU, the patient-consumer, evidence-based information related to disease prevention. As a practicing Internal Medicine physician, I have witnessed frequently how daunting it can be for patients to navigate the vast amount of medical information out there.  And as an instructor for doctors in training, I see just how challenging it can be to translate medical concepts into words that our patients can easily digest.  So on this site, I offer you the chance to clarify, verify, question, and seek! So go ahead....Ask Dr. Tam.
