Patient Care Philosophy
As your doctor, my goal is to be the best advocate on your journey towards health and wellness. I truly believe in assessing the whole patient -- not just the “hole” in them – and involving the patient in treatment decisions that contribute to therapeutic success.
Why I Work Here
I work at [x] because I have a desire to reduce and eliminate inequities in health, especially in politically and economically disenfranchised communities of color. My time with patients is focused on creating a safe, respectful, and confidential space to building a partnership on your health goals.
Well Being Philosophy
Success by the inch is a cinch! Achieving health and wellness takes small changes that yield great rewards over time. To maintain my own health, I meditate, spend time with loved ones, enjoy art and music, and take long walks at least three days a week.
