Philosophy of care:

I strive to ensure that my patients feel they are active participants in their own health care. I try to accomplish this task by providing the highest level of patient education, encouraging patients to evaluate all treatment options, and ensuring that patients select the treatment which they are most comfortable with. I also choose to view the patient as a whole person rather than focus on one issue without personal context. In my approach, I consider the physical, emotional, and social aspects of coping with an illness.
