What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I enjoy most about practicing medicine is the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with the community and my patients, empowering them through knowledge. I believe that when patients understand their health and feel heard, they’re more confident in making informed decisions about their care. Being able to guide and support them on that journey — not just treating conditions but fostering trust and collaboration — is what makes practicing medicine so rewarding for me. I also strive to integrate state-of-the-art and evidence-based, practices to optimize and actively engage the body's natural processes of healing. When patients feel better, I feel better too- it's a shared journey of healing and well-being.
