“During the twenty years that I’ve been privileged to
be involved in patient care my guiding principle has been to treat each
patient as I would treat a member of my family. This requires making the
time to see patients on short notice, seeking to understand all of the
relevant medical and personal issues, providing information and answering
questions until the patient is satisfied with their level of understanding,
and ultimately delivering treatment with a level of quality that is second
to none. The principle is simple to follow because it is the right thing
to do."
