Commitment to patient-centered care

"I am committed to providing patient-centered and cost-effective care for patients hospitalized with neurological conditions. The hospital can be a stressful environment for patients and family, and I am happy to ease those stressors with thoughtful communication, personal rapport, and an individualized approach to diagnosis and treatment. Every patient is unique, and I love going beyond a one-size-fits-all approach to care, treating patients as if they were my family."
