Allentown, PA 

Overview

Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care revolves around understanding each patient's unique needs, preferences and concerns. By actively listening and involving you in the decision-making process, I provide personalized and compassionate care that respects your autonomy and promotes your overall well-being. | Why I entered medicine | My aunt and uncle are esteemed physicians. Their selfless dedication to the well-being of our family and the broader community ignited a passion within me for serving others through medicine. Their unwavering commitment to healing and the positive impact they had on so many lives inspired me to follow in their footsteps. | Community involvement | During my residency, I volunteered at a free health clinic and witnessed the immense value of providing medical care to the underprivileged and underserved communities. I am now seeking similar opportunities because I believe that as a physician, it is not only my duty but also my passion to extend health care services to those who need it most. | Personal interests | I enjoy playing badminton and pickleball, camping with my family, barbecuing, and DIY projects at home.
