“Our outstanding team culture is the direct result of personal relationships that run much deeper than the traditional professional relationships at many academic centers. We are like a big family, and we care deeply about one another. I believe that these connections result in a multidisciplinary, collaborative, and harmony-driven approach to clinical decision-making that produces best possible outcomes for our patients and their families. This is the Michigan difference!”
