My choice to become a physician stem from personal and many professional experiences. My passion for helping others along with my interest in solving complex medical problems have inspired me to pursue a career in medicine. My approach to patient care involves collaborative and patient-centered effort to tailor treatment for each individual patient. Effective care involves open-ended communication along with respect for patient's personal beliefs. Involving patients in making the most appropriate medical decisions based on evidence-based medicine. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family, listening to music and swimming.
