My goal is to help my patients find health, as opposed to treating illness. Each patient is different and deserves to be treated as an individual, so I try to make sure that guidelines and evidence-based medicine are being applied in the context of a person’s life and values. I believe in shared-decision making and making sure patients understand our plan of care and what is going on with their body. Everyone has a story to tell, and listening and engaging in this story to connect with people on a personal level is one of the joys of doctoring for me.
While pharmaceuticals are amazing, they are not our only tool, so I incorporate food, movement (in many forms), mindfulness, sleep, osteopathic manipulative medicine, and mental health into my routine care for both acute and chronic disease.
Beyond patient care, I believe that a day on a mountain bike is always a good day!
