Personal Statement

My approach to caring for patients is holistic and characterized by treatment of the whole person, rather than just the physical symptoms of adisease. I strive to provide the very best care by not only staying up to date on current research, but also by working as a team with each patient to address their medical and non-medical needs and goals.
