Care philosophy

I believe strongly in an integrated approach to patient care and work to understand the whole person. It starts with listening. Symptoms do not occur in a vacuum; people lead busy, complicated personal, professional and emotional lives, and it is important to appreciate gastrointestinal issues within that context. I recognize the powerful mind-gut connection and use behavioral and medication-based strategies to support it, helping patients move toward improved GI wellbeing.
