Why did you choose Health Care as a profession? “I don’t know if any profession optimizes what it is to help someone more than a health care worker. The word ‘caring’ is inherent in the name and tells you exactly what you can expect. I get such enjoyment out of taking care of my patients. Watching my mother lose her battle with cancer, I have a high level of empathy and understanding for what a patient and family can go through. I want to help decrease my patients’ anxiety.”

What is your customer service philosophy? “I believe the patient is central to everything in health care. I attach a lot of importance to patient service. I believe I have strong customer service skills and working with the public is something I enjoy. I treat every patient who comes through our doors as a family member.”

What's one thing you tell every patient or customer? “Never hesitate to call with a question. We are always here to answer any concerns that should arise.”

What is the best part about your job? “Having a capacity of knowledge as a nurse practitioner allows me to find an illness early and treat it. My rule is not just treating a disease or illness, it revolves around teaching a healthy lifestyle. This allows people to live longer and happier.”
