Her personal philosophy is guided by the belief that healing starts with listening, and she shares:“It’s all about the patient. How can I help this patient enjoy life more? How can I be a beacon of light for them in their darkest moments? How can I study and research to educate myself on the most up-to-date treatments and testing available to help alleviate their symptoms? How can I show them that they are valuable when they feel at an all-time low? How can I minimize side effects and pick the most effective drugs as efficiently as possible? There is no greater honor than when a patient entrusts me with their deepest concerns, and I want to return that honor by offering excellent skills, a listening spirit, and a compassionate heart.”
