About

Philosophy of care

I hold a service- and patient-oriented attitude towards practicing medicine. I believe that superlative patient interaction, with an emphasis on education, is the foundation for a successful medical practice.

Why I entered medicine

I have always had an interest and aptitude for scientific discovery, but could not see myself performing research in a lab. Practicing medicine allows me to pursue my scientific interests while forming strong relationships within the community, and the opportunity to enhance patients' lives on a daily basis.

Personal interests

I enjoy competitive running, tennis, computer programming and meteorology.
