One of the most serious flaws in our healthcare system is the lack of coordinated care for someone who does not have an advocate who can provide critical information about a patient if they are unable to do so because they are physically, emotionally or cognitively impaired.

Philosophy of Care:
My philosophy of patient-centered care is based on closely listening to my patients and aligning my medical expertise with their goals of care. Each older adult has a unique healthcare journey that can benefit from the medical responsiveness, presence, and collaboration central to Generation VIPCare’s model. My passion for caring for seniors motivates me to take the time and effort to get to know my patients well. By meeting them where they are at, I am able to proactively provide care to help my patients live life to the fullest.
