Dr. Dillingham’s approach to patient care is deeply rooted in a patient-first approach and attention to detail. She explains, “I believe the practice of medicine should be centered on patient advocacy with our team working collectively to comprehensively address patient concerns while striving for the best possible outcomes. I sincerely value my patients' thoughts and concerns, making it a point to listen closely to every symptom to facilitate no stone unturned- attention to detail is vital. I also enjoy getting to know my patients personally, affording the opportunity to treat patients from a more holistic approach.”
