Commitment to Patient-Centered Care
“I am committed to treating each patient as an individual and to working with them to find the treatment plan that works best for them. I believe that the patient/doctor relationship should be a team approach, and feel my job is to try to educate patients as best I can so that they can make an informed decision regarding their care.”
