Philosophy of Care

Every patient comes with a unique background and set of experiences, I see my role as a physician in endocrinology and diabetes as a guide to filter and educate on evidence-based medical treatment. Each person is unique and serves the most important role in their health care journey. Like any relationship the physician-patient relationship works best with trust, as a physician, I certainly do not know everything, but I am willing to be a lifelong student, learn and grow from my experience and do my best to promote health in each patient to the best of my ability.
