Philosophy of Medicine
I approach patients with the attitude of holistic health in mind. I view my role with parents as a supportive coach to help improve the health of their children. I see children with minds, bodies, and spirits that need nurturing, direction, and even correction. I attempt to keep that focus in dealing with the smaller and the larger issues of these children and their families. My hope is to clarify, to the best of my ability, the diagnoses and treatments available for children in ways that parents can understand.
