About
Philosophy of care
I like to educate you as my patient on the risks and benefits associated with your surgical procedure, so you feel engaged and can make an informed decision. I always treat patients as I would my own family/friends. This patient-centered approach allows me to provide the best care.
Why I entered medicine
I chose medicine, specifically surgery, because it allows me to make an immediate impact on patients’ lives by combining my hand skills with my passion for anatomy and physiology. My training enables me to manage patients affected by pathology, trauma, facial infection and congenital facial abnormalities.
Community involvement
I have been involved in community outreach programs mentoring undergraduate and graduate students interested in medical careers.
Personal interests
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, trying different cuisines, hiking and playing basketball.
