"Philosophy of care | ""It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has."" – William Osler | This quote summarizes my philosophy of care perfectly; it is important to treat the patient, not the disease or the numbers on the monitor. If the disease is not dangerous and does not bother the person, the person does not necessarily need to be treated. I also believe in involving people in their medical care and their decisions. At the same time, I believe in personal responsibility and expect my patients to do their best with lifestyle choices. I tend to be conservative and will prefer a non-invasive treatment over a surgical one given the luxury of choice. My specialty, however, is surgical or procedure-based, and I thoroughly enjoy the challenge of complex procedures, especially when I know patients are going to feel better as a result. | Why I entered medicine | I struggled between medicine and engineering as a career choice. My parents are physicians and had a big influence on my decision. While they would have supported whatever I decided, I was most influenced by the positive impact their work had on many of their patients' lives. Twenty years later I do not regret my decision one bit. I especially enjoy the physician-patient relationship. I am interested not only in the patient's progress but also their overall lives. During my years of practice, some patients have graduated college, others have gotten married – and unfortunately, some have developed dementia and deteriorated. I remind myself life does go on for everyone, no matter their medical condition. | Community involvement | I support animal welfare charities, both local and national. I also feel it is important to donate toward grade school education of underprivileged children toward scholarships. | Personal interests | I enjoy skiing, gardening and golf.".
