About me
I have found the most important trait that separates a good physician from a great one is the ability to listen to each patient. In addition, playing an active role in all aspects of the patient’s care including lifestyle, stress, diet and exercise is of utmost importance. In that respect, I like to think of myself as a partner in the care of the patient. It is only in this way that we gain each patient’s trust.
