I was born in the USA. I have lived in this community for over 10 years. My decision to pursue a career in medicine is driven by a strong commitment to serve others and improve the human condition, especially in underserved areas through preventive care and public health initiatives. I find inspiration in moments when I can make a significant difference in my patient's lives, whether it’s accurately diagnosing a case, helping a chronic patient find relief, or guiding someone through a challenging treatment plan. Building strong relationships with my patients and providing compassionate care are central to my approach, as I believe in considering the mental, emotional, and social factors that affect their health. At the heart of my practice is a foundation of trust, where I involve my patients in decision-making and advocate for their best interests. I strive to create a supportive environment where patients feel comfortable discussing their concerns. When I take off my coat, I love to spend time with family and friends, cherishing those moments that enrich my life outside of work.
