What do you attribute your success to?

  • I treat patients as human beings. I make sure each and every patient knows that I care about them and that I'm going to go out of my way to help them. Effective communication is very important between a patient and his/her doctor. I listen to them, no matter how long it takes. And I always allow lots of time for questions. I always see emergencies the same day; no one will ever be turned away.
