Get To Know Me

Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I have a long experience of more than 30 years, as well as specialty training, in the problems of infectious diseases.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
I feel that listening to my patients is of utmost importance to understand their experience as well as to help their physical problems.

How do you spend your personal time when you're not caring for patients?
I am an avid reader with a broad range of interests. I enjoy the outside natural world as well as our animal companions.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
In my specialty, I collaborate with a complete spectrum of other medical practitioners and specialists, and I try to see an individual as a whole person and not only a single problem.
