Dr. Maruflu’s Care Philosophy and Mission
My Care Philosophy and Mission are to serve my patients utilizing the combination of my expertise, core principles, and beliefs.
I treat my patients like I do my family: always with compassion while devoting my full attention.
I always do a comprehensive exam, and necessary testing, to properly diagnose my patients.
I believe in providing my patients with conservative, less invasive treatment plans to promote healing and lasting well-being.
I actively listen to my patients because open communication ensures I understand my patients and aids me in diagnosis and treatment.
I am determined to improving my skills to match the latest research, innovative and most advanced treatment options, integrative health approaches, and wellness services in order to serve my patients with top of the line care.
I want my patients to be educated about the condition they have. I spend the time to explain what they need to know and answer any questions they may have.
I ensure my patients understand how important their condition and path to healing are. I am committed to being continuously involved in the management of my patients’ conditions in order to achieve healing, health, and optimum well-being.
