I discovered at an early age the desire to assist and be part of my family's care. My involvement awakened a stronger desire to pursue a career as a physician and to give back to my community, which is in desperate need of medical attention and awareness. Gaining my patients' trust and confidence allows me to provide excellent pain management. I believe in exploring, creating and discovering new pain management alternatives for a better way of life. I value working together in an effort to change the perception of pain and helping patients and their families understand their options. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and children.
