“When patients are faced with neurosurgery, they are often petrified. They need appropriate information to make decisions about their treatment. I try to be as helpful as I can and tell them about the alternatives for care provided at Keck Medicine, which may not be available elsewhere. I take my time and give them the time to select the treatment plan they are most comfortable with.
Part of my care model is to assemble the best and brightest in neurosurgery at Keck Medicine and to make sure each patient is treated by someone with a national or growing reputation in their specific need. We have the best team available, and we encourage patients and families to have confidence in our model.”
