I also want to learn what current health concerns they have, talk with them about their options and come up with a plan that's best for them but also is going to benefit their health.``

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.``

So I really like to emphasize good healthy choices and hope to model that behavior myself. Additionally, I'm very interested in getting to know the patient a little bit socially. I like to know where they're at in their lives, what their needs and wishes are. I like to say ultimately the patient is the captain of their own ship and my job is to inform them and to help guide them.``
