ChronicDepressionDysthymia near Sterling, VA

Care Philosophy: "I am a strong believer in preemptive medicine and not reactive medicine, though the latter does have its value. Looking for risk factors before they become diseases is a very important part of my practice. Spending the time and effort in risk stratifying the patient goes a long way in disease prevention. I provide appropriate, compassionate, and timely medical care."
