Intestinal Diverticulitis near Sandy, UT

Care Philosophy: I consider my approach to care to be patient-centered. I believe it is important to give the patient time to tell their story in order to accurately diagnose their condition.

I am honest and empathetic. Ultimately, I hope to improve the health of my patients and give them knowledge about their condition and peace of mind.

Care Philosophy: I always try to respectfully, actively and collaboratively engage my patients in their own care. I am warm and caring, inquisitive and curious – and highly motivated to deliver the best care. Because I empathize with my patients, I work as hard as I can to improve their health and their quality of life

Care Philosophy: I became a physician for the simple reason that I wanted to do something for others and to make a difference in their lives. With disorders of the digestive tract, peoples lives are changed in a very fundamental way. These people have pain, discomfort, irregular habits, and a wide variety of symptoms that range from unpleasant and embarrassing to disruptive and debilitating. These are people who truly need help, and an improved quality of life. This is my motivation as a physician.

Care Philosophy: I am honest and sincere with patients. They are coming in and seeing me when they are concerned or worried or stressed or anxious. I give them a sense of confidence that we are doing the right thing for them and that we, as a team, will get them feeling better. I take time to help them understand what's happening and what they can do to help themselves. I've learned that it pays to listen to what each patient is really saying. It makes accurate diagnosis much easier. Good services are imperative, but accurate diagnoses and skillful, safe procedures are what patients count on
