Doctor of Medicine:
Loma Linda School of Medicine – Loma Linda, CA
My Specialties
Dermatology-focused Family Medicine
1. What influenced you to pursue your career?
My journey into medicine began with a very personal experience: my brother’s traumatic brain injury. Seeing firsthand how compassionate healthcare could dramatically impact both patients and their families solidified my commitment to become a physician. While I ultimately chose to focus on dermatology, my background in family medicine has been instrumental in shaping my holistic approach.
2. What’s the most rewarding part of your profession?
Witnessing the joy and relief on my patients’ faces – whether it’s from addressing a persistent skin issue, providing a reassuring negative cancer screening, or helping them meet their aesthetic goals.
3. What’s the key to making a great first impression?
A warm smile and attentive listening form the foundation of a positive first impression. I strive to convey genuine reassurance, show respect for each patient’s concerns, and take the time to understand their overall health context so they can feel confident in their care.
4. How do you choose the right treatment for your clients?
Choosing the right treatment is a careful and personalized process. Whether addressing skin cancer, a cyst, or an aesthetic concern, I aim to identify the root cause and select a treatment plan uniquely suited to the individual.
5. What is your best advice for clients?
To remember the importance of annual skin checks, especially if you have a history of sunburns, tanning bed use, or a family history of skin cancer. By combining preventive measures with a whole- person view, we can maintain healthy skin for years to come.
