Why I care?

I have had the perspective of not only being the health care provider, but also the perspectives of a concerned family member and patient. These perspectives allow me to empathize with different individuals depending on the situation. My goal in every MDxpress visit is to inform patients and family members (when appropriate) of the treatment options in a timely and caring manner. Patient empowerment in healthcare delivery is more than just patient participation; it is understanding the impact of health care in the context of people’s lives.
