Philosophy of Care
"My philosophy of care involves providing compassionate, evidence-based, and effective care to help achieve a healthy life. I believe health care should be pragmatic and empathetic. I am a good listener and view my patients as partners in health. I love both the science and the art of medicine, and find the personal relationships in primary care rewarding."
