about

I am an internal medicine physician committed to evidence-based, patient-centered care. I integrate current clinical guidelines and NEJM-supported research into my approach to prevention, chronic disease management, and overall health optimization. With experience in both hospital and outpatient settings, I focus on delivering compassionate care grounded in continuous learning and clinical excellence.

    Two Kinds of Medicine, One Doctor

    Some people ask:
    “Can one doctor work nights in the hospital and still run a clinic during the day?”

    I don’t know if it is easy.
    I only know it is possible when the wish to help is stronger than the wish to rest.

    Very soon I will start working full-time as a hospitalist.
    I will be there when patients are the sickest — nights, weekends, holidays.
    I will stay until they are safe.

    At the same time, I have been given the chance to take care of an office where families come back year after year.
    Same faces, same stories, same smiles when someone feels better.

    Two different kinds of days.
    One doctor who says yes.

    I am a father.
    I am human.
    Some weeks I will be tired.
    Some weeks the drive will be long.
    But when a patient says “Doctor, you remembered me” or when a family says “Thank you for saving my loved one,” that feeling is bigger than any tired day.

    Medicine is hard.
    Family time is precious.
    Rest matters.
    But the chance to be there for people — in the hospital at 3 a.m. or in the clinic on a quiet afternoon — is a gift I cannot turn away from.

    So I will try.
    I will show up.
    I will keep learning.
    And I will keep the same promise everywhere I go:
    I will take care of you like you are my own family.

    Thank you for trusting me on this road.
