Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
As a Physician Assistant, I bring a unique blend of medical expertise, empathy, and a patient-centered approach to your care. I will take the time to listen to your concerns and work collaboratively with members of your medical team to ensure optimal outcomes. My dedication to clear communication and compassionate care ensures you feel supported and empowered in every step of your health journey.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
From any healthcare provider, patients should expect trust, respect, and compassionate, evidence-based care. I'll listen, explain clearly, and empower you to make informed decisions about your health. I expect open communication, honesty, and active participation in your care. Together, we can achieve the best outcomes from your medical care.

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you’re not caring for patients?
I enjoy traveling, skiing, swimming, playing cricket, basketball, volleyball, and badminton. I also love spending time with my friends and family.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I chose to specialize in cardiothoracic surgery as a Physician Assistant because I am passionate about the complexity and precision of the field, as well as the opportunity to make a life-saving impact on patients. The greatest reward of working in cardiothoracic surgery is witnessing the immediate and transformative impact of our care. It’s incredibly fulfilling to know I played a role in giving my patients a second chance at life. Building trust with patients and their families during such vulnerable moments is both a privilege and a responsibility I deeply value.
