Samuel Louie, M.D.

Philosophy of Care

The treatment of lung diseases and disorders may be impersonal, but the care of the patient must be completely personal. UC Davis Health System promotes patient-physician partnerships that are founded on clear communication, mutual respect and earned trust. I will listen carefully and be your partner in the quest for an early and correct diagnosis of your problem(s). It makes a difference who is taking care of us when we are ill, and who will help us navigate the health-care system when we need it. Are you ready?
