Treatment Philosophy
My approach to care is patient-centered, grounded in compassion, honesty, and respect. I believe in empowering patients by clearly presenting all available options and discussing the benefits and challenges of each so they can make informed decisions about their care. I value collaboration and teamwork across specialties to ensure comprehensive, individualized treatment, and I strive to treat every person with dignity while continually learning from those around me.
