"My mission as a physician and
psychiatrist is to provide compassionate, ethical state of the
art medical care to my patients. My goals have always been to my
patients, their families, medical specialists and therapists who
refer their patients to me for diagnosis and treatment, to
maintain the confidentiality of my patients, to help my patients
in understanding the risks and benefits of any treatment I
recommend as well as the alternatives to those. I insure my
availability to my patients as well as providing appropriate
backup when I am away from the office. Finally, to advocate for
patients with psychiatric disabilities in the community."
