To provide compassionate, patient-centered care by focusing on the person as a whole. I believe in collaborating with each patient through diagnosis to treatment by acknowledging their life experiences and knowledge and maintaining open lines of communication. I believe each patient, each women, deserves individualized methods of care and treatment options guided by the best evidence available. I focus on addressing and removing the underlying causes of illnesses rather than merely eliminating or suppressing symptoms. My goal is to educate and encourage women to be responsible for their health and create a partnership so we can achieve that goal together .
