What is your practice philosophy? My role as a primary care doctor is to know my patients on a personal level and to help them live a long and happy life. I am there to help through healthy times and through more challenging times of acute or chronic illness.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? I grew up with my mother and grandfather as physician role models. I always loved science, particularly biology and chemistry. I also love the problem solving aspect of medicine and, of course, making people feel better!
