My Approach to Healthcare
As a neurosurgeon, I practice a patient centered approach. The goal is to individualize treatment to each patient. Every patient is unique and different. Some treatments are better for some patients than others. I try to find the best treatment for the patient.
As an endovascular neurosurgeon, I believe that it is important to stay up to date with the latest technologies and techniques in order to provide the best care for my patients. New endovascular technologies and techniques are unveiled every few months in the field of neuro-intervention. The patient is my top priority, and every patient and pathology is different. Having advanced treatment options in the armamentarium gives patients individualized care.
I have a direct approach to patient care when counseling my patients. I believe it is crucial for patients to have all the facts and details about the condition we are treating. Together, we come up with the best treatment plan for the patient that will give them the best result.
