What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I enjoy most about practicing medicine is the opportunity to truly see, hear, and believe in each person I care for. Everyone deserves that level of attention and compassion, and when I’m able to provide it, it becomes one of the most fulfilling and meaningful aspects of my work.
