About Me

What made you want to become a health care provider or what is your earliest memory of wanting to be one?

My father was a physician. I loved going to the hospital with him when he did rounds. I wanted to be just like my father when I grew up.

What do you love most about your specialty? / Why did you choose your specialty?

I love the interaction with the patients. I chose my specialty because there is usually a happy outcome.

How do you connect with your patients?

I connect by being a good listener and letting them know I care about their issues.

What are your interests outside of the office (hobbies, activities)?

I love to spend time with my family. Most recently I started doing karate with my son. I also enjoy bike riding with my family and traveling whenever my schedule permits.

What is your advice for your patients?

Whenever they have a problem to call me for help.
