Why I Chose Health Care

My interest in neurology began formally as an undergraduate student, where I worked with neuroscience doctors at The Beckman Institute. Their desire to better understand the amazing complexity of the human brain helped fuel my interest and intrigue. As a neurologist, I am able to fulfill my personal intellectual interest of understanding the brain, as well as try to help those who are unfortunate enough to have related problems.

I’d like for patients to feel like I’m approachable with any questions or concerns that they might have; many patients feel that their visit to the doctor is one of the most important things they do in a particular day—I’d like to think that I can appreciate that feeling and give them the full attention they deserve.
