Professional Statement

As a family medicine physician, I feel very privileged to build trustful relationships with my patients that have the potential to become lifelong partnerships in their care. My parents raised me with the purpose of serving those in need and it was this enduring sense of social responsibility that inspired me to become a family physician. In my practice, I am passionate about providing full-spectrum, holistic care to our patients and overseeing their care through all stages and aspects of their lives. Cornerstones of my patient care are putting my patients' quality of life at the forefront, always inviting them to take part in the decision-making process, and keeping my patients informed about every step of their care using evidence-based medicine. I love being able to educate my patients and answer all of their questions. I find it very empowering for both myself and my patients when we both take part in their care.
