I was always impressed by the physicians I knew. To me, they seemed to be very honorable and compassionate people. I was inspired from a young age to pursue such a rewarding profession.

I care about my patients greatly. I always try to make an effort to ensure my patients feel better, no matter what their diagnosis is. Being a physician requires literally treating the patient without a doubt, but it also requires developing a positive experience for them–one where they feel a sense of respect and compassion. I always try to create such an environment with my patients and leave them with a smile and a sense of hope no matter what they are going through.
