Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare:

I feel the medical profession is unique and offers the opportunity and privilege to help fellow human beings who may be in dire need. It requires knowledge, communication and empathy to build relationships to help individuals and their families during difficult times.

What I want my patients to know about me:

My personal philosophy is to put myself "in their shoes" so that I can feel and see what my patients are going through. It is very important to build professional relationships so that I can deliver the best care to our patients in the community.

What I do when I'm not seeing patients:

Playing golf, tennis and spending time with family and kids.
