About

Philosophy of care

Every patient brings a unique story, background, and goals, and I strive to understand the person behind the diagnosis. My approach combines evidence-based medicine with prevention and lifestyle medicine-focused care. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, involved in decisions, and supported in making realistic changes to improve your health. One of the things I value most about family medicine is building lasting relationships with patients and caring for them through life.

Why I entered medicine

My mother dreamed of studying medicine but never had the opportunity. Growing up, I carried her dream with me and found that medicine also felt very natural to who I was. From a young age I was drawn to helping others and often was the person people came to when they needed someone to listen, or even when their pets got sick. My mother’s dream became very much my own when I became the first physician in our family.

Community involvement

In Pakistan, I worked with organizations that run free medical clinics for underserved populations, and hope to continue this work throughout my career. Also, I am excited to use my knowledge of lifestyle medicine to help people prevent and better manage chronic diseases. Lastly, I love animals, have a soft spot for cats and volunteer with animal shelters.

Personal interests

I love time with my family and traveling. I especially enjoy new places, experiencing cultures, and making memories. I have also always been a reader and had a creative side, even publishing a short book on Kindle.
