Brief Intro

Through all of my life experiences, I have learned to see patients not just as broken bodies that need mending, but as a family in need of healing.I have had the opportunity to live and work with some of the wealthiest populations in the world, as well as some of the poorest. I have been taught to show empathy for my patients while nurturing and caring for them, independent of socioeconomic status.I will be able to employ the true compassion and humanism for people that I have learned from my father to become a better physician.Just as my mentors in medical school and residency have taught me about medicine, I have learned much about healing from my father.As a child, I was always asked if I was going to become a preacher like him. My reply was always no. However, after watching him and learning more about the practice of medicine, I began to realize that I did want to follow in his footsteps.Pain Medicine, like ministry, provides a significant and critical component to a holistic approach to patient care and affords patients the steps necessary to truly be able to recover.Everything that I learned from my father about empathy and caring for other people has contributed to who I am as a person and a physician today; just as everything that I learned in my medical training has shaped who I am as a Pain Management physician.
