Philosophy of Care

“As much as is possible, I want the care I give to be patient-centric and patient-driven. Understanding an individual’s values and goals is hugely important for this, and something I strive to do. Then, helping patients to understand their condition(s) and potential diagnostic and therapeutic options becomes my goal – if we can do that, then a shared-decision making model with the patient and physician working as a team really becomes possible and allows patients to take the driver’s seat in their own health.”
