I believe that patients who understand their diagnoses are more able to treat their problems properly and will have better outcomes in the end. By practicing the highest ethical standards of care, offering only well-reasoned and accurate diagnoses, then ensuring that patients understand their problem and treatment, a partnership of care with patients is formed. This partnership of care fosters healing, understanding, and lasting doctor-patient relationships.
Provo is my hometown and my wife and I are excited to be back in Utah. I feel privileged to be able to see and treat the people in this valley whom I consider to be like family.
