Care Philosophy
I care for patients in the context of who they are as people, their family, their work life and their social networks. As a family physician, I love working with patients from birth to death and every step along the way. It is important to me to know my patients and to provide them with ongoing, continuous care. I am passionate about helping everyone live the best life they can.
