I decided to become a physician because it allows me to care for others in a way that is difficult to match or replicate in any other field. I also want to innovate and learn about the human body and mind. I strive to become a team with my patients where I provide my medical expertise and they provide the motivation to fight. I believe quality of life is as important and sometimes more important than length of life. I believe listening to the patient is the key to understanding how to treat them. In my spare time, I am a avid runner and enjoy spending time with my two precious boys and beautiful wife.
