Overview

Philosophy of care | Listen. Treat people with respect. Do the best that you can to improve patients' health. | Why I entered medicine | Medicine is the most interesting field for because of its multi-factorial nature to overall well-being. From the biochemistry of blood cells to the pathways of processing light into images to the shaping of our personalities, medicine is never stagnant and fits best with my craving for leaning and growth. | Community involvement | I have done medical missions overseas and worked in local free clinics over the years. I work at the Wilkes Barre VA Medical Center monthly to teach residents surgery how to practice medicine and help our veterans live a better life. | Personal interests | I'm interested in foreign languages, and enjoy rollerblading and yoga.
