Philosophy Of Care
Treating the whole patient, not just the disease and considering the family and involving family members in patient care.
These Are Priorities in My Practice:
- Building a long-term patient-doctor relationship
- Carefully listening to the patient's needs, questions and concerns
- Including the entire family in patient health care delivery
- Providing education and support to in-home caregivers
- Viewing my role as a physician to be a patient educator
I Believe in the Importance of These Factors in the Care of My Patients:
- Dealing with complex medical problems
- Focusing on the role of preventive medicine in wellness
- Recognizing the mind-body connection in wellness and the treatment of disease
- Supporting the role of spirituality in healing
- Working with other specialties in the overall care of the patient
