I decided to be a physician over 40 years ago. I have always been intrigued with science and anatomy and physiology of the human body. I've always tried to help others, and being a physician I was given ample opportunity to do this. I try to approach every patient in an individual fashion. I always try to be an advocate for patients and work hard to do the best that I can for every patient. Outside of work, I enjoy fishing and spending time with my grandchildren.
