Care Philosophy: I take pride in evaluating and treating the patient as a whole. This is crucial when caring for patients with chronic and complex rheumatologic illnesses. Therefore, I focus on evidence-based medicine, but listen carefully to my patients, keeping their treatment goals as a part of our shared decision-making process to provide the best possible care.
