Philosophy:
I believe in educating my patients about their disease and condition and the expected results so they can make an educated decision about their care. I will counsel and advise them about what i think is the best option based upon their particular situation, my education and 25 years of experience. I strongly believe in crafting a highly individualized treatment plan, based upon the patient's physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs.
