Philosophy of Dr. Harrison Mu

Every person is unique and every patient should be treated as such. My approach to every patient is individualistic. It is my feeling to help you understand your situation first. And with this understanding, we can discuss the management options and formulate a plan within the context of medicine and within your values and goals.

These options may entail surgical intervention. Other solutions may not require surgery. Decisions will be made together and expectations will be discussed in detail. At the end of our consultation, you should leave with peace of mind and peace of heart that a plan has been made with the focus on what is the best for YOU.
