About

Philosophy of Care

I take a biopsychosocial approach to patient care. This involves careful consideration of every patient's unique set of psychological factors and social circumstances in addition to biological conditions. I make sure that patients feel heard and that treatment is a combination of current medical practice and patient preference.
