The goal of palliative medicine is to improve your quality of life by easing any side effects from your illness or treatment. We are here to help you feel better every day you’re in our care.
Dr. Vinnidhy Dave and Dr. Daniel Wilkin are board-certified in palliative medicine. They understand that every person’s quality of life measures are unique, so they customize care plans to create individualized treatment while working alongside the other physicians on the patients team.
We work with patients who have chronic or life-threatening conditions such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, congestive heart failure, COPD and kidney disease. No matter what type of illness you’re facing, we are here to help.
Services We Offer
At our palliative medicine practice, we help patients improve their quality of life while coping with an illness. Our specialties include managing symptoms and side effects such as:

- Appetite and nausea: We offer nutritional counseling and guidance to help reduce nausea and improve your appetite as well as medication to help control these symptoms to improve treatment outcomes.
- Shortness of breath: We help patients with advanced COPD and congestive heart failure manage symptoms and breathe easier.
