Overview

Philosophy of care | I strive to approach patients with concern, from their level of understanding and without judgement. | Why I entered medicine | I enjoy microbiology – it has shaped the futures of countries, societies and cultures. Medicine allows me to act locally while thinking globally. | Personal interests | I enjoy volleyball, tennis and my two dogs, Bernie and Elin.
