I also enjoy downhill skiing, biking, reading and movies. Philosophy of Care My goal is to get to know my patients - to get to know the person, not just the medical issue - and to earn their trust and confidence. In my daily encounter with my patients, I strive to listen attentively and, after a careful exam, provide careful explanation and options to help guide the patient in formulating a treatment plan. I will share what I know but I also will solicit input from the patient so that together we can come up the best solution. In my years of practice, I have seen the best outcomes occur when the patient-doctor alliance is at its most robust.
