About
Philosophy of care
I treat you like a family member or friend, as I do every patient. My approach is patient-centered rather than merely symptom-centered, and I will help keep you and your family informed and involved.
Why I entered medicine
I always wanted to make a difference in the lives of others, especially those who are sick and in need, regardless of circumstances. I enjoy helping others live a healthier, happy life. My medical training not only empowers me to help people, but also makes me feel respected and valued by others.
Community involvement
My faith teaches me to help everyone medically or financially regardless of race, identity, religion, etc. As the saying goes: “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”
Personal interests
In my free time I love to travel, help at home, cook and watch sports.
