My clinical practice philosophy seeks to not only address immediate ocular concerns, but to cultivate long-term doctor-patient relationships built on trust, support and shared decision-making.
I have always had a strong desire to pursue a profession in the healthcare field since childhood. The immense pleasure and gratification of improving the health and well-being of others appeal to me in an instinctual way. Throughout my years of medical schooling, I have found caring for patients with complex, multifaceted conditions in a multidisciplinary collaborative academic hospital setting to be intellectually challenging and incredibly rewarding.
I strive to provide high-quality care using evidence-based medicine to patients of different backgrounds in a compassionate approach. I look forward to building rapport with my patients and making a positive change in their life. Towards the end of my first year residency training, I decided to leave my comfort zone, and I embarked on the journey of pursuing optometry in the U.S. I am excited about joining the Mayo Clinic family and look forward to the new chapter in my career.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time traveling, hiking, swimming. and watching movies and documentaries.
