Philosophy of Medicine

"My ultimate goal in practicing medicine has always been patient-centered care. I want to empower my patients to be able to make the changes they would like to make in order to achieve their healthcare goals. From discussing everyday concerns to the most life-changing moments, nothing brings me more joy than making a meaningful difference in a patient’s life, whatever that may mean for the patient in that moment. What I can guarantee for my patients is a stable, safe, & non-judgmental space, regardless of their outside social supports."
