Commitment to Patient-Centered Care
“I think the best approach to patient-centered care is to treat each patient as if they are a member of your family. I am sometimes asked if I would recommend a particular treatment for a family member. This is a reasonable question to ask if there are a couple alternative treatments, but often there is just one recommended treatment. I tell them yes, absolutely, and that I could not imagine proposing surgery or other treatments that I wouldn’t recommend for myself or my family if we were in their situation.”
