About

Philosophy of care

My philosophy is simple: I treat each patient with empathy, care and compassion. I aim to understand your unique needs and concerns, and I'm committed to building a strong and enduring relationship with you. My goal is not just to address immediate health issues but your overall well-being. I believe in a whole-person approach that covers your physical health, mental and emotional well-being and overall quality of life. As a family medicine doctor, I have the privilege of caring for individuals of all ages, allowing everyone to access the care they need. Most importantly, I'm here to listen. Your concerns, questions and input are invaluable to me.

Why I entered medicine

From my earliest memories I've desired to make a difference in people's lives. Whether it involves participating in medical missions or assisting underserved communities, I've pursued opportunities to lend a helping hand. Becoming a doctor was a clear and natural decision for me because it allows me to engage with people from a wide range of backgrounds and have a meaningful, positive influence on their health and well-being. The prospect of directly impacting lives through medical expertise is what drives my passion and commitment to this path.

Community involvement

I have had the pleasure of volunteering in rural southern Illinois as a resident physician. I currently volunteer at the Muslim Association of Lehigh Valley Free Clinic and expect to continue giving back to our community.

Personal interests

I enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends, hiking and traveling.
