Care Philosophy
One of my greatest values as a physician is respecting patient's preferences for care. In order to make informed decisions, patients and their families need to have access to timely information surrounding their condition. I pride myself on being a great listener and being able to have thorough exchanges with patients and their loved ones. It is of great importance to me that the care of my patients is both coordinated and integrated with other care teams in the hospital.
