About

Philosophy of care

I offer you comprehensive and multidimensional patient-centered care.

Why I entered medicine

I had the privilege to be raised by parents who focused on building a strong educational foundation and early in life introduced me to the complex nature of various organ systems. As I grew further in life, I strengthen my fascination for the intricate functioning of the human body and the potential to make a difference in somebody's life through the field of medicine.

Community involvement

I have been involved in various international charitable medical missions to give back to others less fortunate and make a difference in their health.

Personal interests

I take great interest in quality improvement, outcomes research and minimally invasive surgical approaches. Away from work I greatly enjoy family time, healthy lifestyles and violin performances.
