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

Being raised in a family with medical background, I was inspired by my parents who are helping patients. The joy and fulfillment from seeing the patients making progress in their health and being a part of their journey, is what made me decided to become a physician.

I chose Internal Medicine because it gives me the chance to be the primary doctor for the patients, where I get to know the whole picture of their health, the challenges and barriers to their health, which I believe is important in coming up with the plan to achieve their goal.

How do you connect with your patients?

I believe listening carefully and respectfully is the key to connect with the patients. It is important to create an environment where they are comfortable to share their stories and concerns.
