Board Certified, Family Medicine, 21 years of experience
Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. The opportunity to explore a person's potential for complete healing, working together as a team, excites me. I am passionate about creatively educating my patients and providing customized health counseling that facilitates an enjoyable, self-sufficient healing journey. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? As a PCP, I believe in serving as my patients' holistic health educator and professional friend. This includes listening attentively to their health concerns, then performing a thoroughly efficient evaluation so I can provide them with the wisest health guidance available to them. My goal is to facilitate their ability to function optimally in life. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I love to learn, primarily through reading & writing. I love to stay physically active (e.g., dancing) & making music. I also love learning to care for all animals, including dogs. Last but not at all least, I love spending quality time with my friends and family.
