Commitment to patient-centered care
I am a strong advocate for health education. One of my professional passions is helping people return to their former activities after sustaining injury or illness. As a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, I believe that a person's health is affected by a combination of the environment, the mind, the spirit, and the body. I consider all of these components when tackling health issues for my patients."
