It is important to me to get to know my patients and develop a relationship in order to create an individualized plan of care. Understanding how everyday life may affect the patient is vital in learning what will best suit their needs. By listening and creating an open line of communication it creates a better environment between patient and provider and leads to a trusting relationship. Staying up to date on education and content will allow me to provide excellent patient care.
