Patient Philosophy
My over 25 years of military service have taught me the value of collaboration and a shared mission. I believe providers and patients must work together to identify health issues and develop a plan to restore health and well-being. With every interaction, I strive to understand my patient's illnesses and concerns, and be honest and transparent, while working together to develop a plan that fits their unique beliefs and circumstances.
Why The Doctors Clinic?
Despite advancements in technology and treatment, the healthcare system has become increasingly complex and, in a number of instances, more impersonable and numbers-driven. It is refreshing to be a part of a smaller, physician-led organization with a long-established reputation for collaboration and compassionate patient-centered care.
