I am a hospitalist who specializes in the care of hospitalized patients. I work primarily within the hospital setting, managing the day-to-day medical care of patients admitted for treatment. While patients are unable to establish regular care with me, my role is to ensure you receive continuous and focused attention from admission to discharge and assist in ensuring a smooth transition between different stages of treatment. After your stay, please follow up with your primary care provider.
Practice philosophy: A little positivity and compassion go a long way, it’s so important to develop a positive relationship with everyone you encounter.
What are you passionate about and why? I am passionate about helping people, I’m here to not only treat patients but to make sure to make their day a little brighter.
If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? I think I’d be a zoo keeper or something to do with animals!
Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? When I was a kid, I used to vomit at the sight of hospitals or anything medical because I was terrified. Then, I was a CNA at a nursing home and realized that my whole goal in life was to help people.
What is something you have learned from your patients? I have learned that everyone is different, and everyone needs care specialized to them. Listen to the patient!
What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? Figuring out certain diagnoses and treatment plans, the forever changing world of healthcare and always learning!
