Philosophy Of Medicine
“I strive for patients to feel empowered, informed, and understood. I strive to listen. Once we have a strong mutual understanding, I aim to educate about all possible options. Patients should feel they can make an informed decision, even in complicated situations. When we take the time to fully discuss the options I know that we can feel confident and comfortable with our plan.”
