"My passion is helping patients achieve their weight loss goals, so they can regain their health and improve their quality of life. My approach to patient care is to create a partnership with each of my patients, provide necessary information regarding weight loss options and help them create a plan to achieve their health care goals. Each patient's struggle with the disease of obesity is unique and, therefore, treatment options should be individualized."
