My Video Profile
"The foundation to good medical care is the physician-patient relationship. My patient care goals are what I call the 3 C’s: compassion, communication, and collaboration. I aim to treat patients as if they were my own family, communicate in a personable manner, and approach each medical decision as a collaboration with equal partnership."
