Care Philosophy

I love listening to my patients’ stories as I help navigate and guide them through disease evaluation and treatment. Particularly as a specialist in inflammatory bowel disease and microscopic colitis. I believe in building long lasting relationships with my patients. I want my patients to know they will be supported, and my goal at the end of the visit is to make sure the patient feels well listened to and comfortable with the care plan. It is an honor and privilege to take care of my patients.
