The Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

“These are great words to live by. As human beings these words are sometimes easier said than done. As a clinician I try to remember these words and put them into action with each patient I see. Listening is an important part of my job. My goal is to do my best to not only diagnose and treat patients accurately but to make them feel cared for.”
