I care for all patients as if they were a family member.

My approach to patient care is clear:
1.) I listen carefully to my patients.
2.) I evaluate all available information.
3.) I order appropriate tests.
4.) Finally, I come up with a diagnosis and make recommendations for the optimal approach for diagnosis and/or management.
I care for all patients as if they were a family member. I provide all patients with my office phone number as well as my email. I respond personally to emails received from patients. I accept all patients for evaluation who wish to see me. In particular, I do not “pre-screen” patients and I do not require a physician referral.
