Dear Patient,
In 1910, Dr. William J. Mayo told the graduating class of Rush Medical College, “The best interest of the patient is the only interest to be considered.” Although I was not aware of this quote when I began medical school at Rush, the importance of these words was impressed upon me on the first day of my 3 year residency in dermatology at Mayo Clinic. The Mayo philosophy and culture were reinforced throughout my residency. This philosophy also factored significantly into my decision to pursue advanced fellowship training and board certification in dermatopathology (the study and interpretation of skin biopsies). The additional training broadens expertise and translates directly into better patient care.
During my years as a dermatology resident at Mayo Clinic and as a staff dermatologist for Mayo Health System, I cared for patients from all over the world. Their diseases were quite varied – some common, others extremely rare. Their socioeconomic status ranged from the underprivileged to the rich and famous, both young and old. Mayo has one of the largest dermatology departments and residencies in the United States, and it is one of the few that still have a thriving dermatology inpatient hospital service, allowing one to gain experience taking care of patients with serious and life-threatening skin disease. Dermatologic surgery training was comprehensive as well, learning from leaders in the field. During my dermatopathology fellowship, I interpreted innumerable skin biopsies from the Mayo dermatology practice and saw hundreds of complex and challenging biopsies sent for second opinions. These various sources of diversity made my job interesting, and I feel blessed to have had these opportunities.
I am pleased to have the opportunity to work with Dermatology Associates of West Michigan. Important among the factors that influenced my decision to join the practice is its commitment to excellence in patient care. This has made my transition from Mayo a seamless one.
If I am privileged to see you as my patient, I will do my best to evaluate and treat you, educating you along the way so that you can make informed decisions about your health. My goal is to optimize your health and wellbeing.
My wife, Gwen, is my constant supporter and best friend. I enjoy spending time with her and our two children. For many years, a lot of my time has been spent studying medicine. Now that I have completed the formal part of my training, I may have a bit more time for my other interests such as photography, travel, mountain biking, running, golf, and medical missions.
