Experienced in Cor Pulmonale

Overview

Philosophy of care | I remind patients that regular health checkups that focus on prevention are just as important as seeing your doctor for treatment of acute or chronic conditions. | Why I entered medicine | I started my educational journey as an X-ray technician, and while I loved the profession, wanted to know more. I was interested to know, for instance, why the X-rays were ordered and how to diagnose and treat what the images detected. | Community involvement | I enjoy volunteering at community health fairs and reaching out to people who don't regularly visit a doctor. | Personal interests | Professionally I like to focus on preventive medicine, such as cancer screenings, blood pressure checks and preventive labs.
