Best part of my patient visit: Working closely with patients to make a difference in their lives, educating them about their condition, and providing care and guidance gives me tremendous satisfaction and is the best part of my work.
Why I became a physician: Mother Teresa has been my greatest inspiration. As she said, "It is a kingly act to assist the fallen". I believe practical application of medical knowledge to provide a healing touch is one of the greatest sciences.
Favorite health tip: Watch what you eat and exercise regularly. Do not get misled by food marketing labels; read the ingredients and nutrition labels closely.
Practice philosophy: Medical practice is an art and every little stroke counts. Not all patients are identical. Not only do they need individual attention, but also exceptional care.
