PHILOSOPHY TOWARD PATIENTS
“There is a wide-range in ways that autoimmune disease can manifest, and often-times, patients with the same underlying rheumatologic condition can look and present in completely different ways. In addition, every patient has their own unique values and goals of care. I aim to take a holistic view and account for each of my patient’s unique circumstances, so that we can form a therapeutic bond with shared decision making in an effort to optimize your health and well-being.”
