I emphasize patient education and enjoy partnering with patients to help them understand diagnoses and treatment options so we can determine a care plan through shared decision-making. I rely on high-quality evidence-based research to develop a customized approach to fit the needs and goals of each patient.” Kevin R. Hayek, MD
