My office is a healing environment. In my care, patients should feel heard and understood as we work together to improve their quality of life. They are at the center of the decision-making process and a critical part of their own care team. That is why I explain diagnoses and treatment options thoroughly. Using clear terms, I provide patients with an easy-to-understand context of what is happening with their health. I'm motivated by the desire to minimize the impact of disease and illness on others. It's the reason I became a physician. Developing relationships and helping patients heal is immensely gratifying.
