Philosophy of Care:

COMPETENCE is always my first responsibility. I have done my best through residency and fellowship training, ongoing education, and clinical experience to be able to make a correct diagnosis and know the most effective treatment for your problem. COMMUNICATION is my second responsibility and it goes both ways. I will listen to be sure I understand your problem and then explain my evaluation, diagnosis, available treatments, and my specific recommendations for you in layman’s terms. I will answer your questions to the best of my ability. COMPASSION makes our encounter personal. It puts me in your place and reminds me to treat you in all ways exactly as I would want to be treated. CONSIDERATION makes my recommendations specific. I will attempt to understand other factors in your life that would affect your choice of treatment and make them part of the decision process.
