"Collaborative provider-patient relationships are very important to me. I work to understand each patient as a whole person so that diagnoses come more quickly and treatment can take into account a patient's strengths and limitations, aiming for better overall outcomes. I welcome questions and dialogue so patients can fully understand each diagnosis and plan of care. "
