Philosophy:
I come from a family of healers that dates more than 2000 years ago. This is a very important committment and I intend to honor that tradition. I use high technology to facilitate basic healing that includes integration of the body and mind. Patient's points of view are important and I listen because the partnership enhances my skills as a doctor and a person. I believe that patient trust is a core value that must be earned at each encounter. Time is not an issue when patient understanding is concerned. I learn more from listening.
