IF I COULD SHARE ONE INSIGHT ON WELLNESS…
Each of us are the CEO of our complex, amazing, personal health ‘business’. I realize the importance of how we treat this business and how daily deposits and investments into our own ‘health account’ thrust us toward optimal health. It’s all about creating positive health inertia.
MY PATIENT CARE PHILOSOPHY
I learn from my patients and ask questions across a broad spectrum to reach unique solutions for each person. I view myself as an advocate and advisor for my patients and encourage personal accountability as this is the most important job you will ever have.
