I want to do what is best for my patients and provide the highest quality of care. I believe the best health care includes listening to patients' concerns with respect and developing a trusted relationship over time. I see myself as an educator, providing evidence-based knowledge and using shared decision making to help make the best decisions regarding treatment. My goal is to treat each patient as I would want my family to be treated, with dignity and respect.
I am also an ally to our LGBTQ+ community. I provide a safe, inclusive environment where all patients from all backgrounds can discuss their individual health care needs with confidence.

This provider, who I have now seen twice for different issues, may be knowledgable, but she treated me both times as though I was a bother and was dismissive of my concerns. Her not taking me seriously made me frustrated and increased my concern because I did not feel she had my best interests in mind.
