Helping people live healthier lives is a major goal for me as a physician.  To do this, I feel time with patients is key in order to establish a solid, trusting relationship.  This way, each person feels comfortable and trusts that I truly care about them... and I do.  I feel passionately about practicing medicine in a manner that lets me be the kind of physician I always inted to be, kind, caring and focused on "wellness" as well as "illness".
