What I’d Like to Tell My Patients:
"As a doctor, I am committed to offering compassionate and transparent communication to every patient and their families. My goal is to make patients feel at ease during consultations and to encourage them to ask questions, no matter how minor they may seem. I take time to explain diagnoses and treatment options in simple terms, highlighting the benefits, risks, and recovery process for each approach. I strive to help my patients feel informed and supported, actively involving them in treatment decisions and respecting their individual preferences."
