I have chosen a career where I know I'm making a difference in the lives of others. I feel blessed to wake up every day and go to a career that I love. I make it a priority to view my patients as a whole person so that I may better understand their needs and struggles they may be facing when it comes to receiving care. Whether there are language barriers, transportation issues, or other socioeconomic issues, all of these things impact health and compliance with medications and care. I enjoy being able to help identify these barriers so that we can optimize the patient outcome. I am also passionate about educating patients on their diagnoses. The caregiver and patient are a team. When a patient feels comfortable asking questions they leave my office with a solid understanding of their care plan, the outcome for the patient will be better.
