Personal Interests
I am interested in the arts. I have several skills: painting, glass work, mosaic, crafting jewelry, knitting, quilting, cooking and reading.
Philosophy of Care
I am passionate about providing the best quality of care to all my patients. I believe in very thorough evaluation and in offering my patients state of the art interventions, including participation on clinical trials when appropriate, thus being able to get my patients advanced access to innovative interventions. I feel that team care is imperative and therefore typically communicate with all the clinicians providing care to my patients, especially those with complex conditions. I believe that the patient and family are part of this team. being attentive and respectful of patients wishes and spending the time needed by each patient at each and every visit.
