“I strive to motivate patients to take an active part in their healthcare - to get them involved in managing acute and chronic medical decisions as well as preventing disease processes. One of the strongest impacts I can have on my patients’ lives is to educate them on how to make healthy lifestyle choices. By showing them that I truly care about them as a person, we are better able to form cohesive patient-provider relationships.”
