Q

What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?

I have always enjoyed working in a hospital setting and interacting with patients in a dynamic environment. While I now focus on office-based practice, I truly miss the fast pace and energy of hospital work, which allowed me to engage deeply with a wide variety of patients and cases.
