Philosophy of Care
My patient care philosophy is to provide compassionate exceptional healthcare by connecting with and advocating for my patients through active listening. Importantly establishing trust with patients and working together to develop an acceptable treatment plan allows for the best outcome. Patient education is also a key component to my practice.
