Philosophy of Care

I feel fortunate to have been able to join the UC Davis faculty. I not only care for patients in my area of specialization, but do so as a member of a talented, dynamic department that is active in teaching and research as well as clinical care. In this setting, I know my knowledge and skills will constantly expand, keeping me on the cutting edge of the profession and allowing me to give my patients the best possible care.
