What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? What makes me passionate about being a primary care provider is the relationship you build and continuity of care we are able to provide for our patients. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? As a primary care provider, our role should include preventative care as well as advocating for healthy practices and addressing any health concerns including mental and physical in a holistic way. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling when able and reading up on novel and effective approaches to helping my patients. I like to include integrative medicine strategies in my practice when able.
