My Philosophy
I believe in examining and treating each of my patients holistically–beyond their skin concerns and what is visible to the naked eye. To me, practicing dermatology means more than just diagnosing and treating your medical problems–I strive to fully connect with and understand you on a deeper level to provide the highest quality of comprehensive care. Your skin can be a window to underlying medical conditions, so I will use my expertise in medicine, psychology, and evidence-based science to enhance your health and quality of life. My goals are to not only improve your physical and mental wellbeing but to also get to know who you are as a person. I look forward to helping you feel empowered, comfortable, and confident in your own skin.
