Medical School: 

Touro University California College of Osteopathic Medicine

Philosophy of Care: 

My years of medical training, working as a teacher for special needs children and volunteering at a hospice center have guided my patient care philosophy. Every patient should be treated as if they are family or friend: I will treat you with the same dedication and commitment I would invest on those closest to me. Good medicine is also patient-centric: you are far more than a symptom or chronic condition. Rather, you are a complex human individual with unique medical, lifestyle, emotional and other factors that must be weighed carefully to craft a diagnosis and treatment   plan that produces the best possible results. I want to be open-minded: I believe it is incredibly important to listen carefully to the patient’s story and keep an open mind when evaluating treatments because there is no one-size-fits-all standard of care.
