Commitment to Patient-Centered Care
“I am committed to patient-centered care and making decisions with my patients as a team. I respect that patients are the ultimate decision makers for their health and my role is to listen to each person’s needs and understand their experiences so that I can best educate and advise on treatment options for their unique case. My goal is to meet patients where they are and find the best ways to help each person achieve their health goals.”
