His goal of treatment is to correct the problem by treating its causes. He is a bit of an old fashioned doctor with a cutting edge approach to treatment. He believes his best diagnostic tool is his ears to really hear the patient's complaints. He will then add the latest diagnostic testing where necessary to make a pin point diagnosis of the problem. He calls this the Sherlock Holmes approach.
