Philosophy of Care

With my training in pulmonary disease and critical care medicine, I provide patient care and also conduct research on lung disease. As a primary care physician, I see patients for both general health care and pulmonary problems. I especially enjoy the chance to educate patients and help them set and reach health-related goals. I also take care of intensive-care patients, for whom communication with patients and their families is critical in choosing the best treatment plan. This is an especially demanding setting that calls for a wide range of skills. I enjoy relating to my patients, but I also know that my time in the research laboratory may potentially prevent some patients from needing intensive- care treatment.
