Radiculopathy near Grass Valley, CA

Care Philosophy: I believe that clear communication and listening to a patient's concerns are a vital component to developing a strong theraputic alliance. As a team, we will formulate a plan to best take care of the patient with an evidence-based, humanistic approach.

Care Philosophy: Neurological healing is my profession. God is my healing partner, as I see myself as an extension of the Supreme Physician.

Care Philosophy: Listen to your patients and they will tell you the diagnosis. This is an axiom taught by a famous physician and one in which I deeply believe. To me, the first and most important thing I can do as a physician, is listen to the patient. Only by taking a careful and complete history of the problem, can an accurate diagnosis be made. With all of our new patients, this is followed by a comprehensive neurological examination. Many patients have remarked at the end of their encounter, that they had previously never had as thorough an evaluation. Of course, this takes time. So we schedule 60 minute appointments for our new patients. This provides the necessary time both for the evaluation, and for questions, explanations and patient and family education. Patients who understand their ailments are better prepared to participate in their management. Did you know that the word, doctor, comes from the latin, ``docere,`` which means ``to teach.``

Care Philosophy: I believe in personal responsibility and empowering the patient to be involved in his or her own recovery.
