When you need to see a specialist we know what goes through your head. But what we want you to feel is a sense of calm and reassurance that you’re receiving the highest quality care possible – from the moment you sign in to your first steps to recovery. Whether it’s a second opinion or a lifesaving procedure, the specialists at the Banner – University Medicine Institute's centers and clinics offer seamless collaboration between doctors and whole-scale expertise when it comes to health care in the greater Phoenix and Arizona areas.

My approach to patient care centers on active listening and being an engaged member of the patients health care team. This allows me to better understand needs of the patient. I regularly communicate with other healthcare providers to coordinate patient care.
