About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy revolves around the physician-patient relationship. This relationship must be a partnership. The physician and patient must listen, trust and respect each other. As physicians, we must get to know our patients to appropriately care and guide them in their health care journey. Medicine is not all about guidelines and algorithms. We treat the whole patient, and therefore, we need to tailor our decisions based upon each person's needs and circumstances.
