Idea of Care

My approach to patient care is grounded in thoughtfulness, collaboration and a commitment to doing what is truly best for each individual. I believe in practicing medicine that is evidence-based and respectful of the patient’s values and goals.

I take a conservative and measured approach to treatment, prioritizing lifestyle modification, preventive care and shared decision-making when possible. Rather than defaulting to medication, I look for opportunities to deprescribe safely and appropriately, always considering the whole person and the long-term impact of our choices.

I aim to empower patients through education and partnership, helping them take an active role in their health while ensuring they feel heard, supported and cared for.
