My Philosophy
"I believe that you, the patient, are the most important member of the care team. My focus on patient education is exceptional and I often hear patients exclaim “no one ever explained that to me so clearly before!”. The more you know about your condition, diagnosis and treatment plan the more effective your outcome will be. "
