For all the scientific advancements and breakthroughs that we have all witnessed in the medical field over decades, I still believe that the best care is one that’s provided by a physician who has not forgotten what it’s like to be a human being himself. My practice philosophy has always been to put myself in my patients’ shoes, and to treat others how I would my own family.
