Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. Providing the best healthcare to my patients is my passion. Everyone has a right to optimal health. My goal is to work with each patient where they are to develop the best plan of care for their needs. 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? A primary care provider should be a knowledgeable guide who works with each individual patient to achieve mutually set goals. They should be able to provide the most medically sound and up-to-date information to the patient. The provider and the patient should work together to make goals leading to optimal health and well-being. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I like to spend time with my family and pets. We enjoy camping, health, science, music and sports. We enjoy traveling.
