Get to Know Me

My inspiration to become a doctor came from my dad, who served as a role model for me as a urologist. I have found a passion in helping children recover from their medical journeys as well. In my years at 无码专区, I've discovered a new appreciation in my work and am thankful to work with a highly dedicated group of professionals within the organization. When I am not at 无码专区, I enjoy cooking, reading, and traveling with my family.

Why I Treat Children

When I was exposed to treating children during my residency, I found joy and passion in the journey of helping patients back to wellness.聽

What I'm Passionate About

I鈥檓 enthusiastic about fulfilling the promise to patients and their families to offer the best care possible.聽

How I Try to Make A Difference

I ensure the best possible care for my patients in my work every day. I also instill the same sentiment in my residents and colleagues to ensure that the standard of care is the best it can be for their patients. My overall goal is to ensure that patients get the care they deserve.聽
