It is my goal and passion to provide high-level, patient-centered care to the members of our community. I will continue to provide a clinical environment where problems can be identified and resolved, and make shared decisions with my patients on how best to proceed with treatment options to help them achieve their goals. I decided to become a physician, certainly very cliché, because I wanted to help people. Ask my mom and dad, they have the 6th grade report I wrote to prove it. Being a physician allows you to be an educator, a trusted confidante, and have a positive impact in our community. In addition, it is an opportunity to help people solve problems that can aim to preserve their function and enhance quality of life.
