Care Philosophy
I practice patient-centered, evidence-based care that incorporates all aspects of your health as it relates to liver disease. My goal is to educate patients and caregivers on their medical condition to promote shared decision making and patient advocacy. I utilize a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to diagnose and treat liver disease while maintaining communication with your primary care provider and health care team.
