“It is my goal that patients feel heard and understood by taking the time to listen to the patient, which then allows for the development of a treatment plan that both the patient and provider can agree on. The most rewarding part of clinical practice to me is when we help patients gain insight into their conditions, and when we see that our treatment has greatly improved their lives.”
