Biography
As a fellowship-training anesthesiologist in Neuroanesthesiology and Pain Medicine, I believe in the virtues of humanism, compassion and hard work. I am trustworthy, honest, responsible, and respectful of the diversity of our world. I continually strive to be a better clinician and my commitment to my patients is a priority. This commitment is reflected in my willingness to doing what it takes to make a positive difference. In addition to providing excellent medical care to my patients, I enjoy the academic medicine setting where I can participate in the educational process and pursue interesting research projects.
