Approach to Patient Care
I like to take an educational approach to patient care making sure they fully understand their diagnosis, why they are in pain and to help them determine the best most advanced treatment option available to them. Additionally, I believe in using modern techniques and technology to give the patients the best chance at an excellent outcome.
