I chose to go into medicine due my passion of healing others and helping them find the most out of their lives. I decided to specialize in family medicine because I can see patients in their infancy all the way to adulthood and into their older ages of life. I am passionate about preventative health care. If patients have the right education and tools, they can make the most of their lives before intervention is necessary. Joy and happiness motivate me as a provider. The most gratifying part of practicing medicine is the lifelong bonds and relationship you build with your patients.
