Care philosophy

I have a conservative approach to patient care. Whenever possible, I recommend nonoperative management first. I only recommend surgery in cases where nonoperative management has failed or when avoiding surgery could lead to further harm. I take the time to listen to my patients, understand their concerns and work to address them in every way possible.
