Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
Patients should choose me because I genuinely listen, understand, and prioritize their needs. My training has equipped me with clinical skills to provide top-quality care, while helping them feel heard and supported.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
My patients should expect trust, active listening, respectful communication and transparency about care options in our professional relationship.

I expect honesty and open communication from my patients to achieve the best quality of life and best outcomes.

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you are not caring for patients?
Most of personal time is spent with my children at sports activities, vacation to simply watching movies. I enjoy reading and learning about new health care advancements.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I chose vascular surgery as my specialty because it offers a unique blend of complex medical decision making and long-term patient management.
