What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I enjoy most about practicing medicine is helping people navigate challenges and come out stronger on the other side. There is nothing more rewarding than guiding clients through difficult moments, supporting their growth, and witnessing the positive transformations that result from our work together. Being able to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life motivates me every day and reinforces my commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care.
