My Approach to Healthcare
I’m deeply passionate about pain medicine and anesthesia because I’ve seen how life-changing the right care can be. Helping patients find comfort, strength, and hope is what drives me every day. I take the time to listen, to truly understand your journey, and to walk alongside you through it. Whether easing pain or guiding you safely through surgery, my goal is to treat you with the same care and kindness I would want for my own family.
