Overview
I grew up in a family of medical practitioners, which inspired me to pursue a career where I could make a positive impact on people's lives. I believe it is important to enrich an individual's health holistically through individualized treatment plans. I focus on improving quality of life with goals determined by the patients themselves. I treat the scope of physical medicine and rehabilitation and am always seeking to learn more. Additionally, I enjoy time in nature, playing any sport, spending meaningful time with friends and family, personal inquiry, and spiritual pursuits.
