Care Philosophy: When I was in school, I received some advice that I still use today. A preceptor once told me to treat patients as if they were a friend or family member. I've tried to use that advice as the basis of my patient care philosophy. I think taking time with patients and listening to their concerns makes a big difference.

Care Philosophy: My care philosophy is simple: Treat patients how I would want to be treated. Orthopedic injuries and navigating the healthcare system these days can be a frightening and daunting experience. My goal is to ensure that all patients knows their time is valued and that our appreciation for them and their trust in our team is important. My hope is that all patients walks away from a visit feeling like their treatment plan was individualized to their specific goals and needs. Your injury is important - and you should feel that way also.
