I believe that clear and concise communication plays a vital role in a sincere doctor-patient relationship. Furthermore, I believe that compassion, empathy, and sympathy are crucial traits of a successful physician. I enjoy my profession because it rewards me with an opportunity to help humanity and relieve their sufferings. While talking to a patient or a family member, I persistently try to put myself in their situation and try to understand their emotions and frustrations.
I am a professional with a serious commitment to my patients. I like to make consultations as comforting as possible while still collecting critical facts through patient-history; my success in this regard is evident through patient-feedback. I am down to earth, polite and have a good sense of humor.

I feel accomplished and content whenever I smile at a patient, give them a hug, hold their hands or wipe the tears from their eyes, and I know that I have made a difference in this world. recommended care.
