“Practicing medicine and taking care of patients is not only what I do, but is something I truly love to do. Being a good listener and communicator is vital in establishing a relationship with a patient. I strive to listen to my patients, in order to be an advocate for their health. With my adolescent patients that come to the office, their first visit can be a very scary thing for them. I like to make the visit very comfortable and easy-going, so they understand that I am not only their doctor, but a friend they can discuss their health concerns with.”
