Philosophy of Care
My philosophy is to educate my patients using easy to understand language, to empower patients to make healthy lifestyle changes, and to work together to create a unique plan that works for each patient. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking and visiting National Parks, gardening, cooking and baking.
