Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
Patients need a physician who is knowledgeable, hard-working and dedicated and who will listen to their concerns and help formulate a clear treatment plan; this is what I strive to do.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
The doctor-patient relationship is based on professionalism and trust. I will bring my best efforts to each case and I expect my patients to do the same

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you’re not caring for patients?
I like to cook and I like to eat even more. I also like to exercise which helps.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
Internal Medicine is the core of all medicine. Whether you work in the inpatient or outpatient field, it is incredibly rewarding to see your patients improve; it is invaluable to help your patients help themselves.
