I believe the patient-physician relationship is a collaborative partnership that is built on communication and mutual respect where patients’ questions and concerns are addressed. During the appointment, patients can expect attention to their story and a thorough physical examination. As an advocate for preventive medicine and a healthy lifestyle, I am happy to provide transparent, individualized evidence-based recommendations and treatment options that will be explained and discussed so we can make decisions together. After each visit, I believe every patient should feel a little better, even before starting a treatment."
