My name is Richard M. Delany, M.D., F.A.C.C. I am a multiple-boarded physician (Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Geriatrics, Critical Care), Diplomate of Anti-Aging Medicine, with formal training in Functional Medicine.
I graduated from Georgetown University Medical School, followed by three years of Internal Medicine training at Hartford Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut, and then two years of Cardiology training at George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C. I have been in the private practice of medicine in my own office building just south of Boston, Massachusetts for over 40 years. I have also had additional training during my practice years at the Paracelsus Clinic in Switzerland.
For the last fifteen years, my medical practice has been a concierge medical practice that has allowed me the time to fully evaluate and be available to my patients.
I provide an integrative form of Personalized Preventive Medicine, always seeking to understand “the Why and How” behind a disease process. Insights over the last three years from Dr. Goodenowe have allowed me to understand the importance of focusing upon and achieving lasting health for the individual patient.
Below Is a Summary Poem
What Makes a Good Doctor
To seek causes of disease
Why and how they occur
Discovering physiologic solutions
Are what good doctors prefer
To frequent literature review
To grasp the disease within
Name and blame: avoided
Think and link: can begin
To collect patient information
Acquired from far and wide
History of a patient’s family
And what old records provide
Unraveling a disease’s timeline
Its exposure – an acquired art
Old test results long forgotten
Might answer “How did it start?”
A detailed past medical history
A physical exam – complete
Maintaining clinical skills
By repeat and again repeat!
Test choices thoughtfully made
A process of narrowing down
Realizing the clinical context
Frames the analytical ground
Kindness and compassion
Interaction in a respectful way
Repeat physical exams oft provide
What other tests might not say
To always seem to be available
Even when it’s hard to do
Caring about the need to be caring
To do the best that you can do!
