Since a young age, I found it fascinating why people think, feel, and behave the way they do. As I learned more about the field of psychology, I also had a strong interest in the sciences, so I decided since junior high school that I would likely go to medical school someday. I explored other options along the way and it was clear that medicine was my calling all along. The best part about practicing medicine in general, and specifically nephrology, is the opportunity to get to know patients and their families on a personal level, and to help them feel their best in a way that is most in line with t...

I believe medicine has been my calling. The ability to help others in their greatest need is a responsibility I take seriously. I feel honored to be able to work closely with patients and gratified by revitalizing their health. After my service in the Army, I was looking for a practice that aligned with my principles.

Growing up, I saw the struggles of my parents who tried their best to give us the most they could within their means. When my father passed away, I realized that sometimes we are tested, not to show our weaknesses but to discover our strengths. My mother’s selflessness and perseverance have always had a great influence on steering my goals. The field of Medicine, to me, is the means of passing on this selflessness, love and caring into the community. It gives me sense of fulfillment and solace. DRG is the place where it all comes together for me. The primary focus here is patient care that allows ...

I always loved science and had had a strong curiosity to understand how things worked. This initially drew me to a career in engineering, but I felt this lacked the human element I craved. After my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, I was able to see how strong of an impact her physicians had on her life, which inspired me to pursue a career in medicine. I feel very lucky to work in a practice where I can satisfy my intellectual curiosity while helping our patients improve their quality of life. I love building long-term relationships with patients. We often meet our patients during a period o...
