What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? I am passionate about helping my patients improve their physical, mental and spiritual well-being to live their healthiest and best life. I strive to educate my patients on preventative medicine, appropriate medical management, and lifestyle modifications to achieve their optimal health goals. I believe it is my purpose in life to have a positive impact on others and to make a genuine difference in their lives. 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? I believe as a primary care provider it is my duty to thoroughly educate and medically treat patients as if they are my family. I believe it is important to establish a consistent trusting relationship with your patients while taking into account their physical, mental and spiritual well-being to reach their health goals.
