Philosophy
Dr. M. is a CHRISTIAN and tries to follow the ways of the Great Physician, JESUS CHRIST. While he does not discriminate against anyone based on gender, race, creed, sexuality, etc. He admits to a bias from this background and is eager to explore ways that faith intertwines with mental wellness with a patient if desired.
