I entered medicine because my purpose in life is to help others and I find the science of medicine to be fascinating. I have a wide array of interests in medicine and am happy to see a large variety of patients with different concerns or conditions. My goal is to help patients stay healthy and happy by appropriately preventing and managing diseases. I like to have dynamic decision making with all my patients. This means I strive to keep my patients informed and give them the tools to succeed and make decisions about their health. Your care can be directed by you; ultimately, it is your body and your choice. I aim to respect this for all my patients. My role is to provide you with all relevant medical information and ensure you understand all diagnoses, treatments, and options, and can make an informed decision. I also make sure to talk to everyone involved in a patient's care to make sure everyone is comfortable and has a good experience. I work hard to be a good listener and always consider how my patients feel. I work hard to build trust and keep a positive relationship with patients. I love making a positive impact on someone's life, even in small ways. I provide care that respects an individual’s culture and focuses on preventing diseases.
