Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I am experienced, compassionate and committed to always providing excellent care to my patients. Helping my patients brings me joy and satisfaction.

I have worked in different countries, institutions and health care settings. This has given me a wide variety of experiences and shown me that there is more than one way of addressing and solving a problem. I would not settle for anything less than what I would expect for myself when providing care to anyone else, because I care.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
I am committed to helping them and my foremost goal is to keep them safe. I want them to clearly tell me what their expectation is from their care provider

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you are not caring for patients?
I like to read, socialize with my friends and family, garden and cook.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I chose women's health because being a woman I can understand women's health issues better. My greatest reward is my patient's trust in me. I hold their trust as my proudest privilege.
