I enjoy working collaboratively with patients' referring physicians, allowing me to develop a patient-centric philosophy of care. I am committed to providing timely and comprehensive communication to all of my colleagues involved in the patient's clinical continuum of care.

These are the priorities in my practice:

• Accommodating my patient's scheduling needs whenever possible
• Building a long-term patient-doctor relationship
• Carefully listening to my patient's needs, questions and concerns
• Partnering with my patients in health care decision making
• Valuing the importance of my relationship with the patient

I believe in the importance of these factors in the care of my patients:

• Dealing with complex medical problems
• Meticulous attention to diagnostic evaluation and therapy planning
• Providing treatment in a comfortable and personal environment
• Staying abreast of breakthroughs and developments in my specialty
• Working with other specialties in the overall care of the patient
