I do everything than I can to understand the root cause of your urological issue. I work with you to see how a urological concern fits into your overall well-being. I am serious about our work together, but at times I find that bringing humor into the mix, can relieve anxiety and ease fears. When a patient comes in initially upset or feeling alienated, I strive to have them feel connected and cared for. Care can often extend to family members, as I understand that their concerns are integral to your well-being. I try to take the time to listen because, on a human level, if it matters to you, it should matter to me.

I believe in patient-centered care and personal relationships with good communication between patients and providers.
