My Approach to Healthcare

“I have discovered over the years that listening to my patients is the most important thing I can do as a doctor. I try to understand a patient’s unique situation and tailor a plan of treatment that meets their individual needs. We have treatments that can help the majority of couples achieve their dream of having a family but there are many ways to navigate the options available. I try to educate patients about their options and help them make the best choice for their situation."
