About

Philosophy of care

My philosophy is to deliver up-to-date, quality medical care while working with you as a team, respecting your distinctive needs, culture, values and preferences. I like to listen to all my patients and get to know them well.

Why I entered medicine

I have wanted to be a doctor since I was very young. As I grew my desire to help people and my interest in hands-on science strengthened my resolve.

Community involvement

I have been involved in Special Olympics.

Personal interests

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