Approach to care
I take a detailed history and review of symptoms, counsel using proven methods while highlighting compassion and empathy, make evidenced-based recommendations and forge relationships with patients. I am goal-oriented and always look at the bigger picture. Yo tomo una historia detallada y reviso los síntomas, aconsejo usando métodos probados al destacar la empatía y compasión, doy recomendaciones basadas en la evidencia, y forjo relaciones con mis pacientes. Estoy orientado a los metas y siempre miro a lo grande.
