Philosophy of Care
"My interest in education extends to my patients as well as to medical trainees. Education is vital for the patient to understand their disease process so that they can help me develop a treatment plan that aligns with their priorities. The doctor-patient relationship has to be a two-way conversation. By building a partnership with each individual, the patient is more motivated to make whatever lifestyle changes are necessary and to adhere to the treatment plan."
