• I am proud to have studied to acquire a very high level of skill and confidence in accident related cases.

• My staff and I are very Knowledgeable, friendly, dedicated and eager to help with your treatment and injury claim processing.

• Our patient satisfaction rating has been consistently high and our patients realize that we care about them and we are thoroughly knowledgeable in auto accident related treatment & case representation. This is based not only on our successful treatment and resolve of a patient’s condition and claim representation, but also because people need to know their doctor cares about them as much as he is knowledgeable about their injuries.

We operate our clinic under a core set of values: Excellence, Integrity, leadership, Loyalty, Respect & Selfless Service. We practice with 3 basic principles: Make an accurate diagnosis by taking a thorough history, performing a comprehensive examination and ordering the proper diagnostics. We believe in the importance of patient education, doctors should teach their patients what is wrong with them so they understand so they can make decisions about their care. Discuss what options exist outside of our office, including self management, co-management with another healthcare provider or an outright referral if the patient is not a candidate or prefers a 2nd opinion.
