My Approach to Healthcare
Patients are my compass, my North Star, and my guide in every sound decision that I make. My career would be meaningless without the wonderful patients that breathe life into it. The delivery of high quality, cost-effective, evidence-based, patient-centered care is my approach to healthcare for any and all who need it.
