My Approach to Treating Patients

"I believe in a straightforward, patient-centered approach to medicine. It is important each patient feel they are getting my full attention and best possible care. This is achieved through a strong history and physical examination, diagnostic testing, and patient education. Whenever possible, I try to avoid surgical intervention, but will provide excellent care if surgery is determined to be the best option. I feel it is important to recognize each patient’s individuality, and work together with the patient to attain the best possible outcome. My goal is to give each patient the best chance to return to those activities they love doing. I believe my team - consisting of myself, my physician assistant, and my medical assistant - is able to provide the most complete care to our patients."
