What is your practice philosophy? I believe that every patient is an individual with unique needs. It is vitally important to provide personalized care to everyone.
Hometown: Washington, DC
If I wasn’t a provider, I would be a: A teacher. I love teaching and a major factor in my decision to pursue medicine was the opportunity to act as an educator for my patients. A patient who understands their own health is an empowered patient and helping to empower patients is one of the most rewarding parts of my day.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? I became a physician because I enjoy helping others and teaching. Science was always my favorite subject growing up and medicine allowed me to pursue all of my interests. I knew that I had made the correct decision in medical school when we began seeing patients in the hospital. My hours were long but caring for patients made the time fly by and I knew that I had found my calling.
Something I have learned from my patients is: The importance of listening. I think what separates a good physician from a great one is how well they listen to patients; not how much they talk.
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is (and why): The field is always changing! I am lucky to practice hematology/oncology in a time where new treatments and medicines are being developed each day. It is challenging to keep up with the science but the frequent advances in our field are exciting not just for me but, more importantly, for my patients.
