I have exceptional clinical skills in treating both Pediatric and Adult Population. I approach patient Holistic rather than focusing on their diagnosis. I believe it is important to understand the patient holistically to receive benefits from the treatment. Listening to patients’ concerns is one of my empower skills that I carry with me.

I believe my patients deserve quality compassionate care. I have experience in different areas of medicine such as emergency medicine, urgent care, and family medicine. I respect different cultures and values and work to include that in my treatment plans. I provide an open and comforting environment for discussion and treatment. I believe in evidence-based practice and the use of new and upcoming treatment options tailored to each patient. I enjoy going for walks, yoga, and cooking.
