| Philosophy of care/General Information: | I believe in providing the highest level of comprehensive care for patients. My goal is to take a patient and thoughtful approach toward educating the patient about their diagnosis so that he/she is completely empowered to make a decision regarding care. While there are many good options available for those afflicted with musculoskeletal disease, care must be individualized to fit the specific social and emotional needs of any particular patient. I have not done my job if a patient leaves my clinic wondering about their diagnosis. Each patient has my commitment that I will see them through all aspects of their care. |
