Practice philosophy: I practice a holistic approach to medicine. I believe understanding a patient's history and context helps in informing our decisions towards the best health care plan for each individual.
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? I have wanted to be a physician since the eighth grade after seeing how impactful it is to be a part of people's health journeys while volunteering at my hometown hospital.
