The prevention of disease is probably the most important thing to me. I think that I can contribute to the health of people in my area by preventing diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol - those are things that I think if we get a good handle on, it's more likely for the patient to be healthy in the long run.

I became a doctor because I wanted to not only treat patients but also teach them about disease and how to better care for themselves. The most important skill a primary care provider needs to have is the ability to connect with patients. Forming good relationships with people is key to helping them stay healthy and active later in life.
