Somatic Nerve Block near Roseville, CA

Care Philosophy: My goal is to educate and involve my patients in their care. That way they will know their options and make the choice that is right for them.

Care Philosophy: Listen to your patients and they will tell you the diagnosis. This is an axiom taught by a famous physician and one in which I deeply believe. To me, the first and most important thing I can do as a physician, is listen to the patient. Only by taking a careful and complete history of the problem, can an accurate diagnosis be made. With all of our new patients, this is followed by a comprehensive neurological examination. Many patients have remarked at the end of their encounter, that they had previously never had as thorough an evaluation. Of course, this takes time. So we schedule 60 minute appointments for our new patients. This provides the necessary time both for the evaluation, and for questions, explanations and patient and family education. Patients who understand their ailments are better prepared to participate in their management. Did you know that the word, doctor, comes from the latin, ``docere,`` which means ``to teach.``

Care Philosophy: I aim to provide state of the art care for all my patients. I like to listen to my patients’ concerns and involve them in decision making as I view the physician/patient relationship as a team.

Care Philosophy: I believe in educating and empowering my patients so that we can make care decisions together. I am here to guide you, but we are a team, and the most important player is you!

Care Philosophy: I strongly believe that a neurosurgeon's ultimate responsibility is to ensure the safety of the patients under his care. In my opinion, this is best achieved with strict attention to detail and adherence to community standards of care. I also believe in open and honest communication between the doctor and the patient. Oftentimes, especially in the field of neurosurgery, there are many different potential treatments or surgeries for a given condition. I therefore think it is essential to incorporate the patient's desires into any treatment or surgical plan, especially after a thorough discussion outlining all of the treatment options. My patients are my top priority, and I take pride in doing everything possible to ensure they have a successful outcome while under my care.
