Practice Philosophy: I enjoy family medicine because it allows me to develop long-lasting relationships with patients. My travels, particularly my work in Australia’s outback, has strengthened my appreciation for diversity. I strive to incorporate cultural differences and traditions into individual medical care, listening to patients and providing education to help them make well-informed health care decisions. I emphasize health promotion and disease prevention at every visit.
