Care Philosophy
I believe that to deliver the highest standard of care to my patients, there must be consistent patient-physician interactions and clear communication. I value the process of getting to know every patient to provide honest and compassionate care, and I make it my priority to work with each individual on developing a plan that addresses their unique goals and needs. For every patient I see, the focus is to preserve their kidney function, and I am passionate about educating my patients so they can make effective choices that maintain their independence.

Gardening, Hiking, Exploring other cultures
