The best part of my practice is building relationships with my patients. I enjoy working with patients to troubleshoot and treat their medical issues. I also enjoy collaborating with them in their care and empowering them to make decisions about their health and treatment. This includes psychiatric issues or problems in women’s health care. I have a strong interest in hereditary cancer screening, based on patients’ genetic history, as I am passionate about my patients obtaining this knowledge so they are able to make informed decisions about their health care moving forward.
