Philosophy of Care
“Most of my time is spent in patient care,” says Dr. Lurie. “Many of the diseases within endocrinology can be complex and difficult for patients to understand. I think patients do much better when they can understand their disease and understand the pros and cons of treatment decisions.
Therefore, my priority is to develop good communication with patients. I try to help patients better understand their disease so they can make informed treatment decisions together with me. I also try to help patients cope with these diseases to make their life as easy and normal as possible.”
