My Approach to Healthcare
My approach to healthcare is one that is inclusive, holistic, and evidenced-based. I recognize that a lot of medical conditions have sociological or economic factors that play a role in a patient's health. It is my desire to treat the WHOLE patient as I feel this is the most successful way to get them to their desired health goals.
