Philosophy of Care

I believe in always providing patients with the best care for their problems, whether that be with another provider or with me. Our job as physicians is “First, do no harm.” I try to ensure that the procedures I do offer the highest benefit with the lowest risk possible. I think it’s important for patients to understand all of the treatment options available to them for each disease pathology in order to make a well-informed decision on their care.
