Philosophy of Medicine
"I recognize that each patient's needs are unique and prioritize empathy and understanding in each interaction. In doing so I can work to develop personalized care plans to align with their health goals. I also believe in the power of humor. While I take my role seriously, I know that adding a touch of humor can ease the tension that often comes with healthcare. It is a small way that I can connect with patients and create an environment where they feel comfortable and open. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where patients feel comfortable asking questions and taking an active role in their health."
