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.

My driving force is the gratification I get from positively impacting the lives of my patients, being able to be a part of their healing process and most importantly educating them of their illness, so that they can take charge and take better care of themselves. I aim to contribute to a safer and healthier society in return for every bit...

I believe medicine has been my calling. The ability to help others in their greatest need is a responsibility I take seriously.
