Philosophy

"Modern medicine is a team work with the patient being the most important member of the team. I like to discuss all possible diagnostic and therapeutic options with my patients in order to inform them about their disease processes and plans of care. This helps them feel more empowered and in control of their treatment, encourages adherence with medical advice and improves outcomes."
