Care philosophy

I focus on engaging the patient and communicating clearly about their care. Understanding the problem through labs, imaging and history is only half the work—the other half is helping the patient and their family understand what I’m thinking, what the options are and how we can move forward together. If someone doesn’t want to follow a treatment plan, I want to know why and work through that with them.
