I can not count all of the patients who have said that I will be a great doctor; some patients tell me this every time they see me. I remember a discussion with a patient who was a retired dentist. He had decided to pursue dental school instead of medical school because he was interested in working at dentistry as a career...

I strives to foster independence and a love of learning in all...

I have an eclectic taste in music, enjoy reading and swimming, and will never say no to a...
