About
Philosophy of care
I provide you with the best medical treatment while maintaining compassionate care for all my patients.
Why I entered medicine
Since childhood I enjoyed solving problems and marveled over the functioning of the human body. I discovered I wanted to use this passion to help people by alleviating patients' pain from their ailments.
Community involvement
I provide awareness in the community about available preventive medical efforts to help generate a better lifestyle, and about our readiness to provide patients the best medical care to combat any disease afflicting the community.
Personal interests
I enjoy food, tennis, basketball, soccer, and reading mystery novels in my spare time.
