I enjoy the continuous learning and challenge of medicine. It is constantly changing, and the need to be a lifelong student appeals to me. Pain and spine care is a field where I feel I can make a dramatic difference in my patients' lives. I aim to be a provider that patients can trust. Open discussion is essential in any medical care. Patients appreciate my openness, willingness to learn, bedside manner, and honesty. If I can't provide the needed care myself, I will direct the patient toward providers that can help them reach the best possible outcome. My goal is to help my patients achieve an improved quality of life. This can mean understanding their ailment better or improving their physical condition. Seeing their improvement is my reward.
