Care Philosophy
The most important aspect of my job as a physician is to guide my patients through the path from distressing symptoms to a correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment. I always try to educate my patients so that they have the agency to play an active role in the medical decision-making process. I make every effort to promote evidence-based decisions that are individualized to the needs of each patient. I am constantly humbled by the challenges set forth in this field of medicine and am committed to upholding the trust and dignity of my patients
