Care Philosophy

"My care philosophy is based on four core values:

Service: I strive to be available when called upon. I respect patients’ views by listening to what they say. I strive to form a special patient-physician relationship that values patient ideas, philosophy, and comfort level. I make sure to take time to explain the issues in a way that you understand the condition(s) present and discuss all the pros/cons of the treatment choices.

Commitment: I am totally committed to my medical profession. I am dedicated to continuous education, staying current with new treatment options, and not afraid to use the latest approved medical modalities. Most of all, I am committed to “you”, constantly in pursuit of enhancing your total well-being both mentally and physically.

Compassion: Since 7th grade, I have always wanted to be a physician. I feel it is my calling in life. I take all patient complaints and health issues seriously. I believe in building a patient-physician relationship on respect, trust, and honesty. I embrace the challenges of each individual to not just identify a problem but to figure out why it is there and treat it appropriately. Compassion is what drives me.

Team: It’s my philosophy that in order to achieve excellent patient care, teamwork is required. In my mind there is no hierarchy; everyone is an integral part of a successful team, and a successful team creates an environment that will positively impact patient care. Healthcare today is extremely complex and without good team relations, the patient loses out. It is an honor and a privilege to practice medicine and I embrace it every day!"
