My care philosophy
My philosophy of care is centered on treating each patient with compassion, respect, and honesty. I believe that healing begins with listening—understanding a patient’s story, values, and goals allows me to provide care that is both evidence-based and deeply personal. I am committed to delivering patient-centered care grounded in the latest evidence, while continually advancing our understanding of disease through research and innovation. I see every patient encounter as an opportunity to learn, improve, and translate discoveries into better outcomes for those I serve.
