Philosophy of Care

​

(1) Respectful Partnership. You are the expert on your body and your life. I am trained in how the body works and the use of testing and medication to optimize health. Communication and mutual respect for each other's knowledge is at the heart of personalized care and evidence-based medicine. 

​

(2) Meet You Where You Are. This is a safe space to discuss or work on health issues knowing that change happens slowly and only when we are ready for it. No judgement if you decide not to take a medication or you read something online you want to discuss; we're in a healing process together and all this is important.

​

(3) Context Matters. We are part of our environment, and these pieces needs to be considered. Whether it is the impact of work, family, sleep, season. Holistic treatment of you considers all of these things.
