About me

My main goal is to deliver personalized care that suits each person's unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I encourage patients to ask questions and feel comfortable discussing their concerns. I am also interested in learning about different cultures and languages. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and love to travel.

When I interact with patients, I try to make them feel comfortable by discussing topics they are interested in and try to be fun and entertaining. I am a good listener and take the time to understand the concerns of both parents and children. I work with them as a team to find rational solutions to their problems.

I show compassion and care for my patients and their families, treating them like mine and providing comfort and reassurance. I encourage exercise, positive thinking, and optimism to help patients cope with stressful situations. I feel satisfaction when I help a patient achieve good health and peace of mind.
