Practice philosophy: To create a patient-centered experience in which patients can be informed, empowered, and well cared-for.
What are you passionate about and why? Empowering patients by educating them about their bodies and their health and working collaboratively with them to achieve their health goals.
If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? An actress.
What is something you have learned from your patients? Listening to a patient's thoughts and concerns is the most important thing a healthcare provider can do.
What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? Medicine is always changing. Learning new things and keeping up-to-date with best practices is challenging, but fun! I would definitely call myself a life-long learner.
