As a gynecologist and educator, I believe that my patients deserve to be heard and to understand their conditions and treatment options in a safe and respectful environment. Health care is a collaboration between the patient and the provider that takes into account not only physical but also emotional and social needs. Everyone is unique and should be treated as such. I am committed to providing that personal and individualized care to my patients.
As a physician, I believe that patients should be an equal partner in making decisions regarding their healthcare. That decision making should start with providing a comprehensive explanation of the condition, management options and ending with collaborative treatment solutions.
