Philosophy of Care
My purpose in pursuing a medical career was to help others. To that end, I always strive to provide sound and empathic care. I believe in cultural competence and one-on-one doctor/patient relationships. My ultimate goal is to help my patients help themselves in understanding and finally contributing to their own care.
