About Me

I truly appreciate the unique privilege of making a positive and tangible impact on my patients' lives. I embrace medicine's lifelong learning opportunities, along with its challenges and rewards.

Teamwork and collaboration with my colleagues across various specialties are deeply valued as we work together to provide optimal patient care.

The pathologist is the unseen advocate for the patients. Pathologists are vital partners to patients by providing accurate diagnoses and guiding therapy.

Medicine is more than just a job—it is a mission.
