William D. Surkis, MD, FACP
My personal philosophy of care begins and ends with forming a deep, personal connection between me, my patients and their families. I believe a foundation of warmth and humor allows for an honest and effective relationship between patients and their physicians that improves healthcare outcomes and makes the entire experience of illness more manageable. I'm an educator at heart and finding ways to improve my patients' health through education is a vital part of my approach to patient care.
