I am passionate about being a Physician Assistant because I am able to spend time educating my patients about their health, work with patients of all ages, care for the underserved, and, most importantly, give back to my community.

My philosophy of care is to treat the patient as a whole and ensure that every question is answered every time. I am passionate about the medical field because it is fascinating, constantly evolving and advancing, and I throughly enjoy educating my patients about their health and medical conditions.
