Why a patient should choose treatment at your practice?
I aim to create a safe environment where patients can seek treatment for challenging problems. I listen to my patients, provide them with all options of care, and then we agree upon a plan together.
What is your personal philosophy around patient care?
“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” -Winston Churchill
