Treatment Philosophy

I aim to use empathy and education to give patients confidence about their medical problem and the management plan we create to address it.

My team and I are committed to always do what we believe is right for each patient, to listen to patients, to educate patients, to create a treatment plan with them, and to walk with them through their medical care.
