Philosophy of Care
I chose to go into family practice because I deeply enjoy getting to know my patients as people and being part of their lives throughout the years. Although I see patients of all ages, I particularly enjoy infants and children with whom I can start to build a lifelong relationship as their health coach.
Having been with PAMF for over 15 years, I have finally accepted that I have no shot at an NBA career and I am much more fulfilled practicing medicine at the best medical clinic in the world!
