About
Philosophy of care
Preventive medicine is the best medicine. People are living longer, healthier lives due to screening tests as well as advancements in treatment. It is a humbling experience to be a patient, and a physician needs to maintain that perspective.
Why I entered medicine
I entered medicine due to an interest in basis science and clinical care. Medicine provides a unique opportunity to treat an illness at both a molecular and cellular level. With recent advances in these areas, we are able to provide a higher level of care and improve the quality of life for our patients. Medicine is an innovative field and ever-changing.
