Philosophy of Care
I believe that is important to treat each patient as an individual and provide them with valuable and culturally sensitive diabetes and nutrition education to improve their quality of life. I strive to listen to each patient’s concerns and employ problem solving techniques to overcome barriers to success. I feel passionate about my work in the field of diabetes and foster a warm and nurturing environment so that patients feel heard and supported. I value and appreciate the team approach at PAMF as it provides the opportunity to work closely with each patient’s provider so that they receive the highest quality care.
