Philosophy of Care:

It is important to me to keep both patients, and their loved ones, informed of what to expect during the patient’s ICU stay and also what they can expect as they recover from their critical illness. I utilize a team-centered approach and involve all members of the treatment team to ensure a holistic and unified approach to treatment.
