Why I became a physician: I was inspired by the doctors I met as a child. They would make me feel better and I wanted to do the same when I grew up!
What I tell friends and family: Make sure you are in touch with your friends and family throughout the year.
How I spend my free time: I am handy and enjoy fixing things. I also like spending time with my family and traveling.
What patients say about me: I am often told that I pay attention to detail and explain things in an easy way to understand.
Favorite health tip: Find ways to laugh or smile daily - it is very good for your health.
Practice philosophy: I would like you to be a part of the medical decision making. I will also understand if on a given day, you just want me to do it for you.
