My Philosophy on Patient Care:
After 25 years in medicine, my philosophy has not changed. My primary concern is the overall health and well-being of my patients. In our office, we have always tried to provide the best service possible, including availability, standard of care practices, and the genuine concern for our patients. I have always enjoyed taking care of the more complex medical problems and have established my reputation based on my ability to keep the most sick patients in the community as healthy as possible.
Additionally, through my research practice, Palmetto Clinical Research, we have stayed ahead of the curve related to education. We have been doing research related to hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, stroke, myocardial infarction, sinusitis, pneumonia, and most recently have led the research community with respect to anticoagulation.
My goal for the future is to continue to provide the highest quality care to all of my patients despite the changing environment related to government control of the healthcare industry. I will continue to fight for the rights of my patients which will allow us to continue to provide the same state-of-the-art care despite restrictions which will be placed on everyone, especially the elderly.
