I wanted to be a surgeon since I was in the fourth grade, when we dissected an
animal heart in class. Surgery offers me the unique opportunity to manage many
chronic ailments with an operation, and also be part of a patient’s
recovery. My love of medicine comes from a love of people, and I try to
care for each patient as if they were a member of my own family. Good
communication is a key component of my patient care and I try to explain things
in a way that everyone can understand. Patients are my passion, and I believe
that there is no greater privilege in medicine than being someone’s surgeon.
