What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I enjoy most about practicing medicine is helping people navigate from negative thoughts to positive ones. I believe our thoughts have a powerful influence on our reality, so guiding patients toward healthier, more positive thinking is just as important as treating physical symptoms. Supporting people in this mental and emotional shift allows them to feel empowered, hopeful, and more engaged in their own healing.
