Patient Care Philosophy:
Tekekee believes that a strong patient-provider relationship impacts the quality of care and improves patient outcomes. This can be accomplished by simply listening to the members concerns, the provider taking the time to explain what needs to be done and discussing how a particular medical decision can improve the members outcome. She believes that these simple acts can help to foster trust in the provider and increases patient satisfaction.
How I stay well:
I stay well with exercising, praying, practicing self-care, and laughing. Life can be a roller-coaster. So why not jump in the front seat, put your safety belts on, throw your hands up, smile, and enjoy the ride called life. Life is too short to not find your own personal happiness.
