Clinical Interests
This physician treats inpatients only and does not make office appointments.
Care Philosophy
I wholeheartedly believe in approaching a patient's care as a partnership. When a person is admitted to the hospital, this can be a stressful and disorienting experience. My role in the physician-patient partnership is to 1) understand a patient's concerns and who he is she is as a person, 2) bring state-of-the-art care to the bedside, 3) communicate with the patient, the family, and the patient's other physicians in a high level and meaningful manner.
