My role as a physician and surgeon is to educate patients about their options and create a plan of care that works for them through shared decision making. I want to empower my patients to feel confident speaking up for their needs and understanding their own bodies. I want patients to leave my office feeling heard, respected, and with a good understanding of any treatments discussed.
