I never decided to become a physician, I always knew I would be one and I pursued that goal. My philosophy toward patient care is to treat each patient as an individual and make them feel as comfortable as possible during a potentially very stressful time. I recognize that each patient is different and may have different needs and preferences. I try to create treatment plans and present different care options to achieve a common goal while staying up to date on current practices. Travel is a passion for me, my husband and our 2-year-old son. We try to experience new cultures any time we can. If not traveling the world, we enjoy living in America's favorite city and spending time at the beach.
