Care Philosophy: ``My philosophy of care starts with preventive care. I think that's really the area where we have our best ability to grow and improve. So I really like to emphasize good healthy choices and hope to model that behavior myself. Additionally, I'm very interested in getting to know the patient a little bit socially. I like to know where they're at in their lives, what their needs and wishes are. I like to say ultimately the patient is the captain of their own ship and my job is to inform them and to help guide them.``
