I’m always well-prepared when I walk into a patient visit. My work in internal medicine sparks my intellectual curiosity, but I’m not just motivated to learn more about the human body and illnesses every day. I also come ready to address my patients' emotional needs. I support altruistic patient care. Making them feel better is the most rewarding part of my job. Through open-minded discussion, collaborative problem-solving, and shared decision-making, I ensure my patients feel heard. By listening and using my expertise, I help patients ease their chronic disease burden for a better quality of life.
