_"My goal as an osteopathic physician is to use evidence based medicine to improve my patients' lives. I try to see the big picture and treat the entire person rather than merely addressing their symptoms. I also encourage my patients to invest in themselves by learning about their conditions and being active participants in their own health care. With this approach, I hope to enable my patients to maintain a high quality of life with less dependence on medications." - Charles S. Larsen, DO_
