Best part of my work or a patient visit: Getting to know patients on a personal level and helping them achieve a restoration of their wholeness.
Why I became a provider: I find deep joy in making a difference in people's lives, combined with a long-standing interest in medicine. My practice philosophy is that the needs of the patient come first.
