About

Philosophy of care

I experienced the uncertainty and fear of being a patient when I was a child. It isn't easy to trust your health to another person. I work to earn the trust of my patients and be as clear as possible.

Why I entered medicine

I entered medicine due to my interest in organ transplantation. It is amazing to give others a second chance at life and facilitate organ donation.

Community involvement

I have been involved in organ donation awareness, with a focus on living kidney donation.

Personal interests

I enjoy 3D printing and design, especially to help my medical students and trainees improve their surgical skills.
