Personal philosophy/approach to medical care: I became passionate about medicine while following my father, a pediatric endocrinologist, on hospital rounds. I loved seeing how he developed relationships with his patients and made them feel comforted. I chose family medicine because I want to build that same kind of connection with my patients and be part of their health journey.
