Meet The Doctor

What can a patient expect when they have you as a doctor?

To get a clear explanation of their diagnosis that’s communicated directly to them and the family members that are present. My goal is to alleviate the fear of the unknown while explaining treatment options.

What is the most important factor in a doctor patient relationship and why?

I believe clear communication and trust is most important in the doctor-patient relationship. It is important to clearly understand the patient's goals, needs and concerns about their treatment so I can most effectively take care of them.

What hobbies or activities do you enjoy when you're not working?

I have four daughters and they take up most of my spare time. I enjoy watching my daughter participate in multiple activities including basketball, soccer, track and gymnastics. I also like to exercise at the gym, run outside with my girls, or read a good novel.

What about your line of work do you find the most rewarding and why?

It is most rewarding when a patient has a great response to treatment. I pray that even my sickest patients can have some quality time with their families.
