Philosophy of Care
The best interest of the patient is the only interest to be considered,” a quote by Dr. William J. Mayo, one of the founders of the Mayo Clinic; is the most profound guiding principle in my practice of medicine. I incorporate empathy in my approach to patients as empathy is one of the most vital human attributes. My goal is to provide comprehensive care backed by evidence-based medicine to all my patients while addressing their gastrointestinal ailments. I encourage my patients to adopt a collaborative approach towards the management of their digestive health.
