Inspiration: I chose to go into primary care medicine because I am passionate about building long-term relationships with patients and being a consistent source of support throughout their health journeys. Primary care allows me to address a wide range of medical concerns while focusing on prevention, education, and holistic care. I find great fulfillment in helping individuals manage chronic conditions, navigate life changes, and make informed decisions about their wellbeing. It’s deeply meaningful to me to develop continuity and trust with my patients, as it aligns with my commitment to make a lasting impact on people’s lives.
Clinical Interests: Preventive health, mental health, managing chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease
Care Philosophy: My philosophy of care centers on treating the whole person, not just their symptoms. As a primary care physician, I believe in building strong, collaborative relationships with my patients, grounded in trust, respect, and open communication. I prioritize preventive care and patient education to empower individuals to take an active role in their health. By understanding each patient's unique background, values, and goals, I strive to provide personalized, compassionate care that supports long-term wellness.
Experience: Having completed my clinical training in Durham, I have experience treating local patients from a wide variety of backgrounds and am familiar with community resources. Additionally, my volunteer work in Durham has deepened my commitment to service and helped me build strong connections beyond the clinical setting. These experiences have enriched my perspective as a primary care physician and reinforced my belief in the importance of accessible, community-centered care.
Hobbies: Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my wife, daughter, and our golden retriever, Pretzel, exploring all that the Durham community has to offer. We love hiking, experiencing the vibrant food scene, and cheering on the Bulls. In my free time, I also enjoy woodworking and home improvement projects.
