I specialize in endocrinology and have professional interests in thyroid nodules, thyroid cancer and new treatments for Type 2 Diabetes. I also speak Urdu.
Hometown: Quetta, Pakistan
Best part of my patient visits: Educating patients about their condition so they feel in control of their disease. I have had many patients who tell me it’s the first time in years they have understood their disease.
Why I became a physician: Contributing to a persons well being every day is the best part of being a physician.
Favorite health tip: Three square meals a day and avoiding snacks to prevent weight gain.
Practice philosophy: A patient should not be defined by their disease. A patient is a person with goals, responsibilities and dreams just like everyone else. I like to help patients manage their condition so they can continue to live life to the fullest.
