I believe that patients are in charge of their health care decisions, and I want my patients to see me as a trusted advisor and someone who brings value to them. I believe in shared decision making, and I provide the best possible options, factoring in what is right for them culturally, environmentally, and financially. Being engaged with someone at that level means a lot to me.
I treasure the relationships I have with my patients – they are the reason I chose Family Medicine. Some of my patients are the children of those whom I delivered. To be a part of someone’s life so long is truly a blessing.
