About
Philosophy of care
I help you understand your specific health needs by providing care that is current and compassionate in a manner all patients can understand.
Why I entered medicine
I entered medicine rather than research when I realized my strength is the ability to communicate with people of all levels in an effective manner. It is a gift that I was given to have the ability to understand very complicated problems and make a difference in people lives to be healthy, happy and safe.
Community involvement
I offer community lectures regarding HPV infections and cervical cancer awareness. I am an education committee member at the International Anal Neoplasia Society (IANS) and a speaker at free WebEx seminars.
Personal interests
In my free time I enjoy exercise, gardening and traveling.
