Your exam shouldn't end until your
last question is answered.
With the pressure that phy-
sicians are facing to see more
and more patients every day,
patients are feeling rushed
and unfortunately may only be
able to address critical issues
without time left for well-
ness and prevention. More se-'
rious conditions or underly-
ing Causes of illnesses can be
missed when only treating the
symptoms.
Sedona resident Lucia sees
the value of hav-
through everything with her
• and makes sure that she under-
stands everything clearly.
"My husband and I hold Dr.
Singer i n high regard, recom-
mending him with confidence
to friends and clients," Lucia
remarked.
The reason Dr. Singer is
able to do things different-
ly than the typical internist is
that he is affiliated with MD-
VIP. In the MDVIP model, Dr.
Singer limits the

"Dr. Singer
has a one-on-
one type of practice. He's a
phenomenal physician and
he's a wonderful person. I'm
so grateful that when I have
an appointment, I always see
Dr. Singer--I'm not passed
from physician to physician
and I never see a nurse prac-
titioner or physician's assis-
tant," stated Lucia. In a re-
cent interview, she discussed
how Dr. Singer really talks
health history
and your life-
style in order to
help you achieve
your immediate
and long-term
health goals.
Dr. Singer states, "I believe
that appointments should not
come with time limits. We
need to have time together in
the exam room to keep you
well and enjoying life. Sched-
uling appointments for at least
30 minutes ensures we have
the time we need together and
it keeps me on-time for the
next patient."
Dr. Singer's MDVIP practice
is located on the Valley Verde
Hospital campus at 3700 West
State Route 89A in Sedona.

Integral Sedona is spon-
soring A Year at Lotus Lake,
presented by photographer
Norm Shrewsbury, on Saturday,
Sept. 18, from 10 a.m. to noon in
the Sedona Library Community
Room. Admission. is free.
This multimedia presentation
will span the four main sequen-
tial methods used to develop
higher levels of awareness
valued in the Tibetan Buddhist
view of enlightenment.
Shrewsbury's presentation
has been created from 10 years
of study culminating in one
year of living and photo-
graphing Asian Buddhist
communities, rituals and sacred
objects. The interactive expe-
rience will provide a living
example of this vibrant spiri-
tual path, more often called a
philosophy or practice rather
than a religion.
Shrewsbury, whose three-
month journey turned into a
yearlong adventure, will relate
his experiences from a year of
living simply, fully and thor-
oughly. His main retreat loca-
tion was in the foothills of the
Himalayas at Tso Pema, India,
which translates as Lotus Lake.
The intention was to live, learn
and practice Buddhism in a
' Buddhist world.
Side trips included Hang
Kong; the Tibetan autonomous
region; Nara, Japan; Katmandu,
Nepal; and many historic
Buddhist locations in India.
This presentation relates the
"urrent challenges and realities
of spiritual practice, particu-
larly in an expanding world
of technology and a shrinking
world of local traditions
resulting in clashing cultural
beliefs. An integral perspective
will attempt to interweave and
share the lessons learned in this
pilgrimage, according to a press
release.
Experience a glimpse of the
exotic world of the east, seen
through the eyes and senses of a
professional photographer and
spiritual practitioner. Anyone
who has ever had the desire to
just pack up and go will have
their imaginations excited and
their dreams reignited.
Shrewsbury was born in
Ohio. He attended university
in Tokyo, Japan, and graduated
with a BFA in photography from
the University of Wyoming in
1980. He moved to Flagstaff in
1999 to teach at the community
college. Since May, he has been
based in Sedona.
