Philosophy of Medicine

"I strive to make an impact on my patient's health and the community by providing accurate and timely diagnoses to ease my patient's anxiety, by working in collaboration with clinicians to provide a better understanding of disease processes, help guide therapeutic decisions and in cancer screening, and by continuously learning as the complexity of pathology grows."
