Why did you become a doctor?
I've always had a love of science and a curiosity for how things work. My passion for medicine grew out of the ability to build relationships and connect with people while helping to make a difference in their lives.
What is your approach to pelvic pain?
My approach truly aligns with what drove me to be an osteopath as well as a physiatrist which is to use a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to improve a patient's quality of life using the least invasive treatment as possible.
How would you define patient care?
I believe the foundation of patient care starts with listening to and understanding what the patient is going through on both a physical and emotional level. Only then can the best level of care be provided.
