Philosophy of Care
I believe in working with each patient to develop a mutual sense of trust, respect, and open communication. My goal is to create a tailored treatment plan for each individual based on their health, lifestyle, pathology, goals and expectations. I want every patient to feel heard, and to educate each patient properly on their treatment options (both surgical and non-surgical) to come to a mutual decision on the best path forward.
