Philosophy of care
“I truly believe that a doctor cannot treat patient properly unless he/she puts him/herself in Patients’ shoes. I strive to build a relationship based on trust and compassion with each one of my patients. I always encourage open communication about medical conditions and treatment plans so together, we can create a health plan that is acceptable, tolerable, and optimum to individual patient.”
