My Approach to Healthcare
As an Teaching Doctor at UMMC, my approach to healthcare is guided by three core principles: first, do no harm; second, treat the underlying problem; and third, don’t argue with success. Each patient is unique, and situations vary greatly. By acknowledging symptoms, understanding my limitations, and ensuring accurate diagnoses, I strive to provide the best possible care. My goal is to be compassionate, thorough, and patient-centered, always seeking effective and lasting solutions while prioritizing patient safety and well-being.
