"I believe in treating every patient as an individual since the sum of each person's hormones are slightly different and although numbers often tell most of the story it is sometimes the small details that matter. Whether it be Diabetes, Osteoporosis, Thyroid Disorders or otherwise I think timeliness, communication and thorough research are the backbone of a strong doctor-patient relationship and I strive to deliver this for each and every person who comes to my clinic."
