Philosophy of Care: "My role is to listen carefully to what people are saying about their health issues and symptoms, as well as to pay attention to non-verbal cues, in an effort to determine what is going on for them in a whole health perspective. I like a collaborative approach to management strategies focused initially on non-pharmacologic approaches, with other medication/surgical approaches undertaken only when clearly beneficial after thoughtful risk/cost versus benefit consideration. My approach is to advise on medical care/management rather than impose it. I respect patient autonomy and would like for patients to know that their decision not to follow my advice if it does not fully fit with their own values/wishes, will not affect our professional or personal relationship in any way."
