Care Philosophy: ``My philosophy of care is the best way to treat something is by preventing it from becoming a problem in the first place. For example, I can't think of anything that makes me happier than helping someone to quit smoking and possibly avoiding a heart attack or stroke. I also like to make sure I have a very collaborative approach with my patient. I want to make sure that the plan that I come up with is something that a patient can actually do or actually wants to do because if it isn't, it's not going to work.``
