Patient / Medical Philosophy: As a family physician, I believe in treating the whole person. Personal kindness and compassion can go hand-in-hand with modern technology. It is rewarding to take care of families: from helping new babies come into the world, to caring for the oldest family members as they cope with life and health changes. It is important that family doctors be there for their patients when they need them, and know that they are truly cared for.
