Prac­tic­ing med­i­cine and hav­ing patients trust me to the extent that they are able to share their per­son­al prob­lems is a priv­i­lege. I believe it is impor­tant to lis­ten to the con­cerns of my patients and to edu­cate them so that togeth­er we can decide on a plan to treat their symp­toms or disease.
