My approach to patient care is about building trusting relationships with my patients and addressing their physical, mental, and social concerns. I strive to create a space where patients are supported and feel heard through empathy and understanding. It is vital to clearly explain medicine in a way that someone understands and is educated on evidence-based options and available community recourses for symptomatic improvement and treatment. Ultimately, I intend to use shared decision-making to create a plan with my patients to improve their health.
