My philosophy in the way that I practice medicine is simple: my patients come first. I want to use my medical knowledge and skills to help you as best I can. I make it a point to explain things so that you can understand what is going on with your health. I encourage your active participation and decision-making in every step of the evaluation and treatment process. I want to treat you and your family in a way that I would want my own family to be treated during these sometimes difficult times in life. Rest assured that I value the trust and confidence you place in me for your care.
