563-421-4620 Call for an Appointment

Caring for patients, and supporting them is satisfying for me. When I receive a phone call or a message from a patient or his/her family about their satisfaction with the care they received, that makes my day.

I treat all of my patients as a family and provide the best evidence-based care. Initially, I wanted to become a doctor to make my mother happy, but when I started studying medicine, I was happy making the decision to go to med school. I am happy when I am at work doing what I am trained to do. It's my purpose and joy.
