Andrew R. Gustavson, MD

Philosophy of Practice

I am dedicated to compassionate care, and highly value enduring relationships with my patients. My practice is based on the therapeutic alliance: a physician and patient working together to solve problems. This is always unique to each patient and situation. It involves listening to people with empathy, spending time explaining diagnosis, treatment and answering questions. Good communication is essential. Many of the problems I treat involve family members and I strive to involve them in the care I deliver.
