Philosophy of Care
My philosophy of care is to focus on getting to know what's important for my patient's quality of life, and then provide interventions and treatment recommendations that can help to improve or maintain that quality of life. In my spare time, I also serve as a flight surgeon in the United States Air Force and enjoy going to Sacramento Kings games.
