Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

I have always been an admirer of new challenges and learning experiences. A career in medicine gives me an opportunity to understand the human mind and body which is a lifelong learning process. I am very grateful that I choose this profession so that I can help people during a time of their sickness.

What I want my patients to know about me:

My ultimate goal is to communicate effectively with my patient about their illness, as not knowing about your health problems can create a lot of anxiety. Serving in the military has taught me to treat my patients with the same dignity and respect as I would expect for me or my loved ones.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

I enjoy taking long road trips and visiting a place with natural and scenic beauty. I love spending time with my two growing boys.
