I am passionate about: health habits. Spreading the word on healthy eating, staying active and avoiding tobacco in all its forms.
If I wasn't a physician, I would be a: cellist in a symphony orchestra. If only I could play the cello!
My patients have taught me: that sometimes, it is not medicine that a patient needs, but time well spent. The privilege of being part of a patient’s life story is a gift.
Challenges of this career that I enjoy: This career does not tolerate complacency. You must always be learning, studying and listening. Fortunately, I have a great environment for learning as I have great colleagues and many opportunities to improve my knowledge and skills.
A personal achievement of mine is: traveling to six of the seven continents. Antarctica is next.
