Overview

Philosophy of care | My philosophy is to promote well-being of my patients to the best of my ability. | Why I entered medicine | I believe the best way to help people is through medicine | Community involvement | I sometimes volunteer at the local mosque community events like soup kitchen. I look forward to participating in health-related community events. I am also interested in teaching, and I look forward to getting involved with USF medical students here at LVHN. | Personal interests | Among the many things I enjoy, playing badminton and bicycling with my wife and kids is at the top of the list.
