Q

What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?

I enjoy helping people understand that the world is an amazing place to live in. The world is filled with people that are willing to understand and listen to a patient’s life story. I love when the patient realizes what their full potential to their own life can be. Nursing is super rewarding to me.
