Philosophy of Care
“As I age, I feel that treating just the medical part of the patient doesn’t seem to be completely satisfying. It is more satisfying to treat the whole person. I try to see the whole picture: mental, spiritual, physical. Treatment is not just about prescribing medicines or performing tests. It’s about having a more holistic approach to wellness. However, for that, the patient and the physician have to have a good partnership.
“I tell my patients that I’m only here for advice, I cannot do it for them. I try to help my patients to find that motivation, to help them understand their treatment options better, and to stick to the plan we’ve come up with together.”
