Dr. Vernon Mascarenhas

Philosophy of care | My philosophy revolves around the physician-patient relationship. This relationship must be a partnership. The physician and patient must listen, trust and respect each other. As physicians, we must get to know our patients to appropriately care and guide them in their health care journey. Medicine is not all about guidelines and algorithms. We treat the whole patient, and therefore, we need to tailor our decisions based upon each person's needs and circumstances.

Philosophy of care | Illness can often be frightening and unsettling. I strive daily to use my knowledge to guide patients through the process of making a diagnosis and implementing treatment.
