OsteoarthritisofHand near Forks, WA

Care Philosophy: My medical philosophy of patient care is based on extensive information gathering at the initial visit and establishing rapport with the patient, followed by discussion of goals for better health. Subsequent visits build up on that foundation of understanding to fine tune their individual treatment plan. My hope is to empower patients to achieve maximal health and quality of life.
