I became a doctor because I like science and wanted ongoing opportunities for challenges and growth, and wanted to serve humanity in some significant way. I want to treat my patients with my absolute best, regardless of financial interest, my own pride, or other outside pressures. The physician and patient relationship is still sacred in my eyes. I do everything I can to care for everyone who comes to me as a patient as I would want to be cared for. Outside of work, I like to spend time with my eight-year-old son, my husband, our dog, and my parents. We like to take walks and hikes, and explore new places. We enjoy traveling, being outdoors, and learning about wildlife. I am an avid writer and I am working on a novel.
