About

Philosophy of care

It gives me tremendous satisfaction when I can help patients better understand their disease and provide them a path toward relief. My philosophy centers on understanding everyone deals with their health issues in their own way and that my role is to provide them tools to continue on their desired path.

Why I entered medicine

Medicine allowed me an opportunity to combine my love of science and technology and my desire to improve the lives of those around me. My father was a physician, and seeing how his profession provided him the opportunity to give back to the community through health care inspired me to follow a similar path.
