It is very important to me to develop a genuine trust between patients and myself. I endeavor to treat everyone with respect, kindness, and understanding. I never make a treatment recommendation that I would not make for a member of my own family.
A successful result can be achieved for all involved by learning each persons unique concerns, wants, and needs. I want more than a passing interaction with patients; I want to know people and expect friendships to develop with my patients.
