One of the outstanding traditions at The University of Rochester is the Biopsychosocial approach to patient care. I am committed to this approach. Where my patient calls home and how they think about healthcare is as important to me as the enzymes and hormones that make us who we are, and everything in between. In the office, I will see you as a unique individual with a unique story, and so will personalize your care.
