My goal is to provide patients with the best care, using evidence available anywhere in the world, in a compassionate and caring manner. My scholarly research and leadership in international organizations keeps me abreast of the most current knowledge, which I use for their benefit. I’m willing to go the extra mile to help patients, even when that requires extra time and effort on my part.
