Philosophy of Medicine
"To be able to practice as a nurse practitioner in a primary care setting allows me to truly know the patient and guide their care from a primary standpoint. It gives me a chance for meaningful interactions throughout the patients' lives by getting to know them more through individualized care. I am blessed to have the opportunity to help people at the forefront and gateway of care. This internal motivation to help people and be a positive force for good inspires me to do what I do."

During exam, the subtle humming is distracting. His responses of positive affirmations, although in good intention, are not always appropriate with me, when something isn't going good. Hearing "real good" from the provider doesn't always help. It seems that he may not truly listen to patients, as having a preconceived plan prior to going into room.
