About

Philosophy of care

I always look at patients as a whole and enlist them in the decision-making process. I listen to their fears and concerns, address the issues and guide them in the right direction. I believe in preventive care and interplay between mind and body, particularly with rheumatic disease.

Why I entered medicine

The workings of the human body have piqued my interest from a very young age. Having no family member in the health care field motivated me to be the first. Combined with my caring, compassionate attitude and attentiveness to detail, a medical career has helped me achieve my dream.

Community involvement

I enjoy helping elderly relatives and neighbors with their chores, technology and also lend a listening ear. I try to increase awareness about preventive medical care and healthy living for friends, family and community. I teach students at various levels.

Personal interests

I love nature, enjoy walks with Argos, my dog, and being with my family. I am a passionate cook and like trying new recipes. I enjoy reading and belong to a book club. I'm taking baby steps toward spirituality.
