“I aim to help as many people as possible to maintain their function, comfort, health, and confidence for as long as possible. I want to educate my patients on how they can empower themselves to create a situation where they can maintain and look after the work I do for them. I want to be able to go to bed knowing I did everything in my power to help my patients, cutting zero corners and remaining ethical in the process.”
