Care Philosophy: ``As a primary care physician I work to partner with my patients. I share information with them and help them make good decisions about their health and well being. When patients come to see me for the first time they can expect that we'll spend time talking about their past medical history and what types of issues they may have had. 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.``

Care Philosophy: "My philosophy of care is centered around doing the right thing for the patient every time."

Care Philosophy: ``My philosophy of care starts with preventive care. I think that's really the area where we have our best ability to grow and improve. 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.``

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.``
