Philosophy
My goal is to provide personalized and compassionate care to every patient, combining my technical and clinical expertise with a "soft touch" approach. Patients today seek more information and request to take part in the decision making process. My philosophy is that a well informed patient is a satisfied patient. My team of co-workers and I invest plenty of time in patient education, making sure our patients get the answers to all their questions and have easy access to us on a daily basis.
