What is your philosophy on patient care?

"EM is a tremendous specialty. In no other area of medicine do the patients line up to see a doctor they don’t know. They put all their trust in someone they just met minutes ago. You have limited tools, limited time, and sometimes limited information to help a person likely having a much worse day than you. It’s so rewarding."

With MEMN since 2008


What is your philosophy on patient care?

"At University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake, our goal is to provide high quality, compassionate care for every patient at any time in their own community. I believe we should provide patient-centric care by understanding their goals, informing patients fully about their condition, and partnering with patients in health care decision making."
