What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
Open lines of communication are important in any relationship with patients and with other physicians involved in their care. I expect each patient to be a partner in their health.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
Infectious diseases is a dynamic and evolving discipline, which offers opportunities to help others through medical detective work.
