About

Philosophy of care

Children and their families suffer when the are involved in chronic illnesses. I feel that besides the use of medications, their problems need to be addressed as a whole and with empathy. The trust and availability of the physician in times of need alleviates the anxiety of the children and their parents.

Why I entered medicine

I grew up in an environment where medicine was regarded as a very noble profession. My parents certainly created an environment early in my life that strengthened my interest in medicine.

Personal interests

I am fond of traveling.

About Our Ratings and Reviews

About our Survey

Our physicians and advanced practice clinicians (CRNPs and PA-Cs) are among the nation's best. That's why we show you patient satisfaction ratings and comments so you can read about and get to know our clinicians through the eyes of their patients.

To ensure our ratings and comments come only from verified patients, we work with NRC Health, a third-party organization. NRC Health sends patient satisfaction surveys on LVPG's behalf following an office visit or procedure. They ask patients about their impression of the health care provider and the doctor's or advanced practice clinician's communication skills.

What is included in the star rating?

Star ratings are based on a scale of 1-5 stars, 5 being the best. The rating includes responses to these clinician-related questions:

Physician Communication Questions
1. Did this clinician give you easy to understand information about your health questions and concerns?
2. Did this clinician listen carefully to you?
3. Did this clinician seem to know your medical history?
4. Did you trust this clinician with your care?
Overall Clinician Rating Question
1. Using any number from 0 to 10, where 0 is the worst clinician possible and 10 is the best clinician possible, what number would you use to rate this clinician?

Why don't all doctors or advanced practice clinicians have a rating?

In order to have enough data to measure and compare, a health care clinician must have at least 30 completed patient satisfaction surveys. Surveys are included for a period of 12 months from submission.

Comments

"The way the hospital is set up is very confusing. We came in the door and thought we were one the 1st floor but were apparently on the second. Got in the elevator and pressed 2 which took us to another floor that apparently was the 3rd floor. Got back in the elevator and pressed 1 and got to the 2nd floor which is where we came in at"

"Very satisfied with the treatment we receive from all the hospital staff, since every time we have had to attend all the appointments, all the staff treats us very well. Thank you very much."
