Describe your typical patient: My patient population in family medicine has generally been middle-age individuals with no or a couple of chronic conditions. Often I see the entire family.

What would your patients say about you? I believe patients would say I genuinely care about them and listen to their needs.

What is the most important thing patients should know about you? I like to know the ins and outs of the histories of my patients so I feel connected and can make good decisions.
