Philosophy of Care:
As an endocrinologist and obesity medicine specialist my goal is to provide excellent evidence-based medical care while actively, involving patients in their own care. Utilizing a patient centered-approach, combining lifestyle modifications as well as the latest therapies and treatments, ensures that patients get the best results in what is sometimes a life-long health challenge. Whether a patient is dealing with obesity, diabetes, or any number of endocrine conditions, the physical component is always compounded with a psychological component hence the importance and efficacy of this multi-disciplinary approach.
