I am a hospitalist who specializes in the care of hospitalized patients. I work within the hospital setting, managing the day-to-day medical care of patients admitted for treatment. My role is to ensure you receive continuous and focused attention from admission to discharge and assist in ensuring a smooth transition between different stages of treatment. Patients can also establish regular care with me and continue care in a clinical setting. After your stay, please follow up with your primary care provider.
Practice philosophy: Prioritize the unique needs and preferences of each patient. Engage patients and their families in shared decision-making processes to ensure their active involvement in care plans. Recognize and address the specific challenges faced by rural populations, such as limited access to healthcare resources. Stay current with evidence-based practices in critical care to provide optimal and timely interventions. Implement comprehensive discharge planning to minimize readmissions.
What are you most proud of? My family.
