My Idea of Care

I believe the physician should be a teacher. Time should be spent making sure each patient fully understands their diagnosis and options so that together we can make well-informed decisions. The physician should also be a student and be ready to learn something from every patient.

Lastly, I’m pretty confident that humor can treat all disease states and I generally use this to its full advantage.
