I am passionate about: traveling to other countries and experiencing their cultures and food.
If I wasn't a doctor, I would be a: chef. It provides an endless opportunity to learn and stimulates creativity.
Something I have learned from patients is: it is crucial to continue learning in order to be a better physician. Every patient teaches me something new, bringing me closer to that goal.
My best health advice is: to go for a walk outside every day. Personally, the best thing I've done for my health is to stop snacking.
