Meet Your Provider

What about your line of work do you find most rewarding and why?
The most rewarding part of my work is when a patient returns to the clinic after implementing strategies we’ve discussed (either surgical or nonsurgical) and says their pain is gone. Often, I see patients who have had to limit their lifestyle significantly because of whatever problem they are seeing me for. To help them fix that problem and see them experience life again is the best part of my job. 

In your opinion, what’s the most important factor in a doctor-patient relationship?
Trust and confidence.

What can a patient expect when they have you as a doctor?
My patients can expect to be treated like family; that means kindness, honesty and a desire to help. I devote time and attention to each patient individually so that they can be confident that I will work tirelessly for their best outcome. Often, this means employing a multidisciplinary approach in order treat the whole patient and not just the problem they present with.

What are your top priorities with every patient you see?
First, that they feel heard and seen. Second, that their problem/pain is addressed.

Describe one of the top ways you ensure each patient receives the quality, personal health care they deserve.
The first step in providing quality personal health care is really listening to the patient in order to understand the problem they want fixed.
