About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy is to provide you with the best patient-centered care possible.
Why I entered medicine
Guiding and treating hospital patients through one of the most critical times in their lives gives me purpose and happiness, and I knew from my student days it was my calling to be a physician. As an internal medicine resident, I handled a broad range of complaints, diagnoses and treatment options. Today, having that toolkit of experience to help and guide patients with any illness is the most enjoyable part of being a hospitalist for me.
Community involvement
During my undergraduate college days, I enjoyed volunteering at the university hospital. I also donate regularly to improve the living conditions of people suffering around the world from war and poverty.
Personal interests
I enjoy spending free time with my family, reading, playing PlayStation, working on my mobile app projects and making YouTube videos.
