How do you help your patients “Choose Health”?
“I provide evidence-based recommendations and as much information as possible to help patients make solid decisions about what is best for their health. Patients know their bodies. I know internal medicine. The patient-doctor relationship is one of communication, teamwork, and mutual respect.”
