Philosophy of CareI decided to become an internist because of the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of complex disease. I also enjoy having the opportunity to talk with and listen to men and women from all different walks of life. My philosophy of care centers on applying rigorous thought and the knowledge of both medicine and the human experience to making people both feel better and fulfill their full potential. Frankly, a lot of "good health" is good luck--economic, social and genetic. I like helping the unlucky. |
