Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I believe that healing extends beyond prescriptions and procedures. I prioritize creating a safe, respectful environment where you feel heard.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
I am attentive, thorough, and responsive. I believe that a strong patient-physician relationship is founded on trust, respect, open communication, and shared decision-making.

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you are not caring for patients?
When I’m not caring for patients, I value spending time with family and friends, staying active, and finding balance through activities that help me recharge. I particularly enjoy making things with my hands from crafting to baking.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I chose my specialty because it provides me with an opportunity to form long-term partnerships with my patients as well as to perform hands-on procedures that can detect and prevent serious disease. Knowing that a screening colonoscopy may literally save a life is profoundly rewarding.
