“I consider it a privilege to help people with their day to day acute and chronic medical problems. I approach my patients with deep regard knowing that they are whole individuals with many facets. The physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions of one’s being are intricately interrelated, and therefore, illness in any one of these areas can affect one’s health. I enjoy spending quality time with my patients at each encounter and intentionally strive to make each patient encounter meaningful and helpful.”
