Practice Philosophy:
We always hear the phrase “Do No Harm” but I believe we should strive for “Do the Best” when it comes to patient care. It should not just be about doing the minimum but going above what’s expected to ensure all medication regimens for all patients are fully optimized. I believe medical decisions should always involve the patient. I’m also a strong advocate for medication access to all, ensuring patients are able to afford their medications long term.
