He believes that compassionate, patient-centered care begins with active listening and open communication. He views the patient-physician relationship as a partnership, where decisions are made together and tailored to each individual's unique needs and circumstances. He also values working closely with specialists, care teams, and community resources to ensure that patients receive coordinated and comprehensive care. His goal is to empower patients with the knowledge and tools they need to take an active role in their health, fostering long-term relationships that support wellness across every stage of life. ### Professional highlights He is a member of the American College of Physicians. ### Outside of medicine Outside of Medicine, he enjoys staying physically active by lifting weights, running, and playing sports. Running the San Francisco Marathon was a big personal achievement for him. He is also a huge soccer fan and loves watching professional games whenever he can.
