My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
Doctor derives from the Latin word for teacher. My most important role as a doctor is to teach my patients to understand as much as possible about their illness and the importance of their wellness. I empower each of my patients to be my partner so we can work together to make a positive difference in their health and well-being.

When you are in the emergency room or hospital it’s very comforting to have your doctor, who knows your medical history, being there to make decisions. All is well now and I thank Dr Smith for being there on the… See more

I feel that having him as my… See more
