Dr. Eric Ardman wants to know about his patients' values and family in addition to their chronic ailments and medical problems. He wants to be a helpful, honest guide and supportive presence in the lives of his patients. His interests in patients as people are reflected in his professional interests: narrative medicine, patient/community advocacy, medical education, addiction medicine, family planning, LGBT health, palliative care, primary care in Vietnam. He enjoys speaking conversational Spanish and Vietnamese with his patients as well. 

Dr. Ardman's pronouns are he/his/him. His Vietnamese name is "Binh An" which means 'peaceful.' He grew up outside of Philadelphia (so he loves big soft pretzels and Wawa) but spent his formative years in Miami, Florida (so he loves to dance Salsa and relax on a beach). Dr. Ardman is passionate about caring for those on the margins of society and learning about his community so that he may effectively advocate for change. Dr. Ardman only speaks when he has something to say; he prefers to listen to others and hear about their lives.
