About me

Being in the hospital can feel scary and confusing. As a doctor, it is important to make this time safe and as comfortable as possible. Care starts when someone arrives and continues until it is time to leave and heal at home. My role is to do everything needed to ensure patient recovery, both in the hospital and after going home. Working together with patients is at the heart of my approach.

Watching people get better, even a little each day, is a special part of my work as a doctor. Success is when the illness improves or is cured. Sometimes, there is a full recovery. One of the best moments is when patients are ready to move forward with their health.

Caring for others is more than treating sickness. It is also about figuring out what may have caused the illness and finding ways to keep it from happening again. This can often mean discussing treatment plans with family and friends. Open communication ensures that patients feel heard and understand their health issues. Building trust, respect, and teamwork helps create the best care possible.
