Philosophy of Care

I try to approach each patient as an individual, each with a diverse background that contributes to their health. I hope each patient feels educated and empowered after their encounter with me. I also consider myself a healthcare teammate, often working together as part of a multidisciplinary group of internists, surgeons, and/or other specialists to help guide care for a patient.
