I initially chose to become a doctor because of my interest in science and human physiology, but now, the best part of my job is forming lasting relationships with young people and their families. I approach every interaction with a hope to build a greater understanding of what makes that patient or family unique so I can be their true advocate. Building strong relationships allows me to better provide reassurance where appropriate or recommend medical intervention when necessary. In doing so, I seek to provide clear communication thorough evaluation and prompt follow through. I spend most of my time outside of work with my wife and our two young children at the park, the library or any of the great museums in the area. We also love to get outside of the city whenever we can and enjoy nature!
