What makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider? As health providers, I believe we have a unique position to be able to help our patients to become healthier but at the same time empower our patients to make healthier lifestyle choices which can lead to positive impact on the overall health being of our patients for the years to come. 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? In my opinion, a primary care provider has the opportunity to work with each patient closely, treat each patient as a unique individual with their unique background and characteristics, as well as keeping in mind the well-being of each patient both physically and mentally are equally as important. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? In my spare time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, gardening and biking.
