Most importantly, I believe in treating patients, and not the symptoms. My training in Emergency Medicine and Internal Medicine encompassed a wide array of approaches to medical problems, from conservative to aggressive, so I weigh the risks and the benefits arising from a particular therapeutic modality, as it applies to each patient individually. In situations when there is more than one correct approach, I believe that the patient should have a significant input in their treatment.

I understand that if patients are sick, they cannot wait two days for an appointment. I also understand that patients have a life outside of a doctor’s office, so if a patient has made an appointment, then he or she should be seen at that time.

I prefer compassionate and personal way of communication with my patients, and I hope to become a part of every patient's extended family.
