“My approach to patient care begins with listening to the patient’s story and discerning potential causes. I discuss with the patient the different options there are for treatment and use shared decision making with the patient to decide the best course of action. My goal is for our plan to be individualized to each patient’s needs. My patient care centers on compassion, empathy, and holistic well-being. I prioritize listening to patients, treating the whole person, and fostering open communication. Ultimately, I aim to empower patients, promote health equity, and provide support throughout their care journey.”
