I jokingly posted on my instagram bio “Chief Kimbap Officer”, which is a Korean comfort snack much like a sushi roll.
I am a Doctor yes, but I am particularly passionate about food, and that permeates through everything we do at AlereMD. This is a passion that goes beyond nutritionism and supplements.
For me, food encompasses deep cultural traditions, community, and even religious import. Supplements alone can never restore our health. We must focus on restoring our relationship with whole food products.
I have begun to partner with some of the honest food producers in Houston, with plenty of educational opportunities and surprises to come for members.
1 Month Milestone
January was our first month open, and what an exciting one it has been. I feel fortunate to have our first cohort of members join. You clearly believe in a better doctor patient relationship, and I am grateful for your trust in me.
I am also extremely grateful for our Office manager (and lead chef) Meredith Meyers, who has been at my side, as we get our bearings with this dream. I will add to that my wife Ana, who is also behind the scenes making all of this come alive.
We are a slim operation – AlereMD is a clinic with just 2 staff, but we believe this improves our quality of care. And as some of you have already experienced, we believe in accessibility for you health concerns no matter how insignificant they may seem.
I am optimistic about the future of healthcare, thanks to all of you.
Best,
Charles Rismyhr, MD
