Philosophy & Approach
Geriatrics is about far more than treating diseases – it is about treating the whole person. I believe the best outcomes come when we take time to listen, to understand your goals and values, and to build a care plan around what matters most to you.
Older adults have a lifetime of stories and wisdom to share, and I consider it a privilege to learn from every patient I see.
