About
Philosophy of care
My approach starts by trying to understand the social history: the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live and age. These are the non-medical factors that influence outcomes. I then take your medical history and, after a physical exam, apply all these factors to treat you.
Why I entered medicine
I got into medicine because of the challenge it posed and the constant need to keep up with new developments.
Personal interests
I enjoy cross-country skiing, fishing and traveling.
