"
As a physician, my goal is to both treat and educate my patients. I do my best to explain conditions and include patients in the decision making process. I don't always achieve this goal. If I have not satisfied your needs, please call me and let me know. Even after many years, I continue to grow and improve. It's what I love about what I do. So reach out to my office and give me feedback and let me improve. Thank you.
