Philosophy
"I love listening to my patients as I feel they give significant clues to their diagnosis and decide on the best options for their treatment. Hand and arm conditions are very commonly a manifestation of the whole, and I offer my patients a holistic approach to treat the cause and maintain the well-being of the whole body."
