What is your philosophy regarding the practice of medicine?
Practicing medicine is more than just writing a prescription. It is getting to know your patients and treating the whole person. There is a mind body connection in regard to skin disorders. Yes, medication is important. But self-care, healthy eating, and education are integral to healthy skin.
