My Approach
Treat every patient and family as if they are your own. That’s all there is to it. If you truly incorporate this into your being, then success will come easily.
My approach to care is also simple –transparency, accountability, and collaboration. You must always tell the truth, be held accountable for your actions, and be a team-player.
