About
Philosophy of care
Illness can often be frightening and unsettling. I strive daily to use my knowledge to guide patients through the process of making a diagnosis and implementing treatment. I try to be a source of comfort, empathy and compassion at all times.
Why I entered medicine
I entered medicine to bring comfort and compassion to those in need. I am enriched each day by the experience.
Community involvement
I have volunteered in rural Appalachia, Tennessee and Pakistan.
