Philosophy of Care
"There's no one rigid approach to healthcare management -- each treatment plan has to be individualized in order to achieve the best results for each patient. My philosophy is to work with my patients to tailor treatments to their specific needs, as opposed to having them fit into a mold or a guideline of treatment.
"I take pride in my ability to explain medical terminology in a way that eliminates intimidation and helps patients obtain a clear understanding of their condition and their treatment options. It's important to me that my patients feel as though they can approach me with questions and that they are part of the decision-making process regarding treatment, rather than feeling they are having a decision dictated to them.
"I'm fully accessible to referring physicians and do my best to communicate results as soon as I have them available."
