Philosophy of Medicine

"I started my path towards a career in medicine as a phlebotomist in Grand Forks, ND during college and later a volunteer emergency medical technician in Grafton, ND. I found that the more I learned, the more enriching and fulfilling the science of medicine became. It was during medical school that I began making connections with patients and members of my community which really confirmed that being a doctor was the right path for me. As a surgeon, I have the privilege of using my specialized training to positively impact my patients' quality of life during the most critical and challenging times of their lives."
