A Patient-First Approach to Your Care

​

Your Care Comes First

​

Expertise

Honesty

Integrity

​

There is no ego in patient care. There is only one priority: doing what is best for you!

​

I believe that practicing medicine means putting the patient first—always.

Medicine is incredibly broad, and no physician can be the best at every procedure, diagnosis, or treatment. I believe it is important to recognize both where my expertise can best serve you and when another specialist may be better suited to your individual needs.

If I perform a procedure, it is because I believe it is appropriate for you and that I can provide the level of care you deserve. If a procedure or evaluation falls outside my area of expertise, or if I believe another physician may be better equipped to care for you, I will tell you!

 

Continuity of Care

If your care would be better served by another specialist, I will help facilitate a referral to a colleague whom I know, trust, and have confidence in to provide you with the highest level of care.

​

​

MY commitment

My commitment to you does not end with a referral. I will remain engaged in your care and work collaboratively with your healthcare team throughout your journey, helping ensure that your care remains coordinated, thoughtful, and centered on your health and well-being.

​

A Trusted Network of Specialists

Over the course of my career, I have built a strong network of physicians and specialists whom I know, respect, and trust.

When a referral is necessary, I don't simply give you a name and send you on your way. I strive to connect you with a physician I would trust with my own family.

My commitment is not to perform every procedure or provide every treatment myself. My commitment is to help you receive the right care, from the right physician, at the right time.

​

Medicine Is a Team Effort

You deserve a physician who will listen, be honest about your options, and put your interests ahead of everything else.

Sometimes that means treating you myself.

Sometimes it means seeking another opinion.

And sometimes it means referring you to a trusted colleague.

There is no ego in patient care. There is only one priority: doing what is best for you!
