My professional philosophy is to be the family doctor that I would want my loved ones to see: available when needed, up to date with evidence-based care, reasonably on time, a good communicator, and someone who cares about them, listens well, and gets to know them. Built into my wiring is a passion for those that are marginalized and powerless. That has shaped my carreer to an extent. Most of all, I am a small town doctor meant to serve his town.
