Philosophy of care

“My goal is always to treat my patients as I would want my own family to be treated. I believe that the most important foundation of good medical practice is listening carefully to the patient, both for arriving at the proper diagnosis and for instilling confidence in the patient that I understand fully their vital health concerns.”
