Practice Philosophy 
Patients are my priority.  I strive to consistently care for my patients in a compassionate manner. 

Competence: As a physician I believe it is my responsibility to provide quality care.  Wanting my patients to be involved in their care, my goal working together to ensure they have continued good health. 

Service.  I have arranged my schedule to provide for same day appointments.  I believe in continuity of care and strive to provide my patients with quality healthcare, ensuring their needs are met.

Cost. As Healthcare is changing in our nation,   I am committed to providing my patients with high quality healthcare. As a business owner I realize the importance of containing cost without jeopardizing patient care.
