About

Philosophy of care

As a physician, I treat all my patients with care and dignity. I care for you as I would want a provider to care for one of my family members.

Why I entered medicine

As a child I was always in and out of the hospital setting for multiple reasons. Each time I saw my doctor represented a moment of renewed hope and optimism. I wanted to have a career where I could provide that same hope to others every time we interacted.

Community involvement

I love to play basketball in my town's recreational league. I also enjoy teaching/tutoring math and still find time to do so through various platforms.

Personal interests

I most enjoy spending free time with my wife and daughters. I also like playing and watching sports.
