Philosophy of Care
I want every patient to enjoy a long, healthy life, and everything I recommend is with this in mind. I strive to provide excellent care, and see my role as that of an advisor. I make recommendations based on what the patient tells me, their personal and family history and their examination. I try to provide choices and to help the patient understand the potential risks and benefits of different courses of action. I believe that health is more than the absence of disease and that taking time for friends, family, and fun is good for you. I practice minimal intervention.
