I believe a physician must "love" their patients, meaning they commit to unconditionally and self-sacrificially work in the best interest of the patient. This commitment is the sole basis for empathy and compassion. Every patient is infinitely different from every other patient, and has inherent value. As a physician, I treat each patient with dignity, respect and according to their individual uniqueness.
 
I give my full attention to my patients by listening carefully, asking questions and providing thoughts and concerns so we can work together to develop an individualized treatment plan."
