Care Philosophy: I realize there's a lot of anxiety surrounding a doctor's visit. I want to minimize that as much as possible. I want you to feel like you're talking to a person rather than feeling separated by titles. I do strive to provide a lot of information at our visits. My philosophy is that the more you know the fewer suprises you'll encounter. At the same time I try not to inundate you with facts. I've personalized handouts for my most common procedures so you don't have to memorize anything. It's also important to me that when you come to my office you feel part of the decision-making process. I can certainly advise on many aspects of medical care but I want you to feel in the driver's seat. I never want someone to leave my office feeling they've been talked into surgery.
