My care philosophy is to understand the person beneath the symptoms. To ever apply wisdom, compassion and knowledge to the art of healing. When a doctor adheres to specific methods; I have doubts about the therapeutic effect for each individual patient. I treat every patient as individually as possible, because solutions to the problems are always uniquely individual ones. I practice with a broad scope of theoretical and practical foundations, working with the patient before me to find what is most helpful.
The purpose of life is to serve and to show compassion and the will to help others. Only then have we ourselves become true human beings. Albert Schweitzer.
