Personal Bio
Treatment Philosophy
Understand the patient's needs.
Why are they seeing me? What issues do they have regarding their medical care?
Take the time to get a good history. Get to know the patient.
Obtain testing that will prove or disprove a concept, but make it reasonable, cost effective and as safe as possible.
Eliminate any unnecessary medications (especially natimicrobials).
Formulate a plan.
Take the time to explain your concepts to the patient.
See if they buy in to the approach?
Try as much as possible to get a collaborative approach to care in place.
Educate the patient on what to look for and make sure they know they can see me again or contact me.
