Patients are an integral part of the care team, so I encourage my patients to be involved in their care, participate in discussions and follow through with recommended evaluations and treatments discussed in the office visit. I welcome questions and provide detailed explanations in writing to support the discussion.
I have over 20 years of experience — beginning with primary care and now specializing in nephrology (kidney care). This gives me a perspective across the continuum of patient care and a greater understanding of the challenges faced and resources to overcome these challenges.
