I chose to become a doctor in order to combine my love of science, a desire to provide compassionate care for patients, and an opportunity for continued learning. I try to approach each patient as an individual each with a diverse background which contributes to their health. I hope that each patient feels educated and empowered after their encounter with me. I also consider myself a healthcare teammate, often working together as part of a multidisciplinary group of internists, surgeons and/or other specialists to help guide care for a patient. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, taking a Peloton class and playing tennis.
