Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
Because I listen, care deeply, and partner with each patient to create personalized, evidence-based plans that promote lasting health and well-being

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
Patients can expect compassion, respect, and open communication. In return, I value honesty, engagement, and partnership in working together toward their best health.

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you are not caring for patients?
I enjoy reading, hiking, exercising, and spending time with family and friends. I also volunteer occasionally and pursue hobbies that help me relax and recharge.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I chose internal medicine because it allows me to build long-term relationships and address the full spectrum of adult health. The greatest reward is seeing patients regain control of their health, improve their quality of life, and knowing I’ve made a meaningful difference in their journey.
