Care Philosophy: I believe in personalizing care for every patient. We forget that every patient is uniquely different, not just medically but in other ways as well: education, language, cultural beliefs, religious belief. I don't think we can succeed unless we understand the role of these factors in patients&rsquo medical conditions. I believe that every patient deserves to be treated with respect, again regardless of other factors. Lastly, I believe in sharing responsibility of every patient&rsquos health with him or her. I try to educate all my patients enough so that they can participate in making decisions about their care. I earned a Bachelor&rsquos of Medicine and Surgery from the Government Medical College in Surat, India and completed a residency in the Department of Internal Medicine at St. Luke&rsquos University Health Network.
