General Info

About me

I studied to become a doctor because when I was a child my father worked in healthcare and I witnessed the true satisfaction of one of my father’s patients. The patient was so grateful for my father had done for him that it left a lasting impression on me and I knew I needed to study medicine so I can change and improve the lives of others. What I love the most about my job is the improvement in my patient after coming to me in a bad condition; being an integral part of that process is wonderful.
