Overview

Philosophy of care | I experienced the uncertainty and fear of being a patient when I was a child. It isn't easy to trust your health to another person. I work to earn the trust of my patients and be as clear as possible. | Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine due to my interest in organ transplantation. It is amazing to give others a second chance at life and facilitate organ donation. | Community involvement | I have been involved in organ donation awareness, with a focus on living kidney donation. | Personal interests | I enjoy 3D printing and design, especially to help my medical students and trainees improve their surgical skills.

His clinical research consists of co-authoring 2 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.
