Care Philosophy
I treat my patients like family, with respect and compassion. Shared decision making is key to patient-centered health care. It’s important to me that you understand your treatment plan, so I take time to explain your condition and treatment options. I also work hard to stay up-to-date on medical literature so that my team can provide the most advanced digestive care.
