Care Philosophy
My care philosophy is that all patients, from non-athletes to week-end warriors to professional athletes, deserve to understand the nature of their injury or condition. Patients should always be given a clear explanation of their condition in terms that they understand. They must be given choices regarding their treatment and allowed to make their own educated decisions based on the most up-to-date research and guidelines that are available.
