Approach
"I like to listen to my patients, find out what are they wanting, looking for and how they are feeling. I like to encourage them to ask questions and be involved in their care decisions which can lead to better health outcomes. Change is difficult so I want to keep a positive and realistic approach for them. My goal is to adapt to each patients learning level."
