Philosophy of Care

I believe in providing humanistic care in partnership with patients. This means I try to understand how people’s health and symptoms affect their lives, and how treatment options might fit within someone’s values and lifestyle. An important aspect of my role is to stay current with medical evidence and help patients make informed, evidence-based decisions. Outside the clinic, my work focuses on improving systems of care, especially for young people transitioning out of pediatrics and people managing chronic conditions, and I work with my patients to help coordinate and navigate these systems. Finally as a Central Valley native I believe in serving and giving back to my community.
