Care Philosophy
The goal of my care is simple: to serve and help my patients and their families.
In order to serve, I keep myself up to date so the best quality of care can be provided. I must be a good listener, be honest and compassionate in all of my patient encounters.
I am interested in helping children and adolescents going through physical and social difficulties in our present times. I also have a special place in my heart for parents of teenagers. I am dedicated to helping young families succeed.
El objectivo de my practica diaria es simple: servir a mis familias y ayudar a mis pacientes.
Para servir, debo de estudiar y mantenerme al dia en los cambios de la medicina. Esto permite poder proveer medicina de calidad. Tambien debo, de escuchar con atención, tener compasión, y ser honesta.
Nuestros tiempos presentan nuevas dificultades. Yo quiero ayudar a ninos y adolescentes que estan sufriendo problemas de salud física y mental. Yo tengo un interés especial en ayudar a las madres y los padres adolescentes. Con ayuda, todos los padres jovenes pueden triunfar.
En estos 30 anos de practica ha sido un gran privilegio, bendición y alegria, cuidar sus hijos y verlos crecer.
