Philosophy of Care
Caring for the health of another person is a privilege. I believe in individualized but innovative, cutting edge medicine, offering my patients choices and a full partnership in their healthcare decisions. My role is to listen to the concerns, diagnose the problem and inform the patient what her choices are in testing and in treatment interventions. It is the partnership in decision making that makes the relationship with my patients special. Ultimately I respect and support my patient in their chosen treatment path, ensuring that he understands the options and possible outcomes.
