“The two most important things in my life are my family—my wife and 5 children—and then my patients.
I try to have fun with them and get to know their backgrounds. I genuinely care about them and want them to do well. I'll spend extra time with you so that I can understand your concerns, and I think patients appreciate feeling like they're part of the family.”
