My Approach to Healthcare
As a family medicine physician, I strive to provide individualized care and treat the whole person. My goal is to be an integral part of each patient's healthcare journey by offering appropriate treatment, education and fostering a trusting patient-physician relationship while also participating in shared decision-making and understanding the impact of socioeconomical factors on a patient's health. I take pride in advocating for each patient and serving as not only their provider but also a resource for continuity of care, support through all stages life, and making an impact in their lives.
