Professional Statement
It is a privilege to take care of patients, and I think it is imperative that all patients have an advocate, someone who will guide them through a difficult and frequently scary process. I take pride in being their advocate. If I don't possess the knowledge or skills to help them, I will find someone that can. More than 14 years of practicing medicine has taught me humility and empathy, and I take tremendous pride in being a physician and caregiver. My partners, colleagues, and most importantly my patients, recognize my commitment and dedication to providing high quality healthcare.
