I believe that the first purpose of a physician is simply to make patients feel better and live longer. The first step, of course, is to make the correct diagnosis. I find that I learn the most about my patients and their medical problems just by listening to them. And so, my approach is to hone in on the right diagnosis first by carefully listening to the patient's symptoms and concerns, and then by doing just the tests that are appropriate, as opposed to excess testing with little benefit. Similarly, I endeavor to apply a thoughtful approach to each individual patient's treatment, using their preferences and the most up-to-date therapies, making sure that my treatment provides the greatest benefit with the lowest risk.
