Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. The ability to provide high quality, compassionate, and accessible health care to my patients, thus allowing them to live their best possible lives, is what makes me passionate about being a healthcare provider. 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? The role of a primary care provider for a patient should be to be the main point of contact for all his physical and behavioral health needs, since the PCP can not only screen for and diagnose a myriad of conditions but also initiate and coordinate treatment of the said conditions. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I have recently rediscovered the joy of reading and most recently finished reading 1984. I also enjoy traveling and spending time with my family.
