ABOUT MY PRACTICE
ABOUT:
My working philosophy is to identify the cause of the patient’s illness and offer strategies to cure or mitigate the illness. I do not believe in treating symptoms without also knowing and treating the cause of those symptoms. My goal is to offer the patients the best care possible in a pleasant, clean, friendly, and safe environment. To this end, I strive to see patients in a timely manner, communicate clearly and effectively with both the patient and their primary provider, and order testing only when considered medically necessary.
