Practice Philosophy
To act as an advocate for my patients at all times, putting their well-being ahead of my personal comfort and financial interests, as well as the financial interests of any third party.
To offer advice and help in the context of each patient’s unique and individual needs, requests, sensibilities, and belief system. Realizing that each patient has a different view of the role of Western Medicine in their lives, I agree to act as a consultant, allowing the patient to decide how I am to fit into their health care program.
To treat all those who entrust their care to me with respect , and at all times protect the sanctity and dignity of human life.
To strive toward an open and truthful doctor-patient relationship that fosters mutual trust and cooperation toward the common goal of improving the quality of each patient’s life.
To be thorough and relentless in preventing illness and determining the cause of disease and suffering in all patients who seek my help.
To be accessible and available to patients, and to provide a competent and responsible staff and back-up coverage.
To recognize that the most powerful tools for healing the human body, mind and spirit are love and compassion.
In expressing the gratitude I feel for being given the privilege of serving others in the practice of Medicine, I dedicate myself and my clinic to the following objectives
