Being a family doctor allows me to get to know my patients on a personal level. By knowing my patients well, I can address their health not only physically but also emotionally and spiritually as if they are my own family...

I had a personal motivation to get into medicine. My family and I had some health issues, and the doctors who cared for us were absolutely fantastic. I think that's probably what inspired me the most. I decided to specialize in family medicine because I like the idea of caring for the whole family and the whole person-addressing the psychological and emotional needs of patients as well as their physical needs. I'm most passionate about preventive care and overall wellness. As a physician, I promote health maintenance, including managing and improving chronic conditions. Building honest relationships with patients and families is an important part of this. It's how the physician and the patient work together to reach your wellness goals and improve your quality of life.

I have always been interested in science, and I love to help others make their lives better, so being a doctor was a perfect fit for me. I work hard to be sure my patients understand and feel comfortable with the way we manage their options.
