    Provider's Bio

    It's important to listen to the patient's history and give them ample time to explain their symptoms and concerns. I believe this is essential in narrowing down the problems, and arriving at the correct diagnosis and instituting treatment.

    I enjoy reading and spending time with my family. We frequently travel abroad for vacations and to visit family members who are spread far and wide. I also enjoy watching classic movies and classical music when time permits.
