Philosophy of Care
I believe that healthcare is a partnership among the care team, the patient and his or her family. Healthcare decisions should be made jointly after detailed discussions of risks and benefits of treatment decisions. I do my best to insure that patients and their families have a thorough understanding of the physiological alterations underlying their illnesses such that they can make properly informed decisions. In our clinic, many of our patients start their care with us as infants and stay with us for 10 to 15 years or more. By the time they "graduate" from our clinic as young adults, they are like family to us. Creating a safe, nurturing medical home for families of children with chronic illnesses is one of our most important jobs as healthcare professionals.
