“From the first interaction, I prioritize building trust with patients through kindness and respect. I believe in treating patients like family members, and I always put myself in their shoes to gain as much perspective as I can. It’s important to truly listen to patient concerns and decide on a treatment line together, with the goal of helping them resume their lives as fully as possible.”
