When I was young, I would follow a family doctor who made house calls. I was amazed by how well-respected this doctor was and by the miraculous recoveries some patients would make after receiving treatment. That memory left me with a positive impression of doctors. I encourage my patients to talk and be as open as possible. I work with my patients by providing knowledge and experience to help them. I want my patients to know that I am human just like everyone else. We are all on the same journey and can combine our efforts to make that journey pleasant.
