Philosophy of Care
I look forward to coming in to work every day because medicine is a continual learning process for me, full of surprises and new challenges. When patients trust me with their stories and health, I can partner with them in taking ownership and direction on the path to optimal health. Whether assessing problems, recommending testing or treatments, I strive to treat patients the way I would want my own family member to be treated.
