Personal Statement

Why choose transplant?

I was drawn to the field of Lung and Heart-Lung transplantation because it held the promise of providing hope and life-changing care to patients confronting serious medical challenges.

Philosophy and why patients should choose me?

Every patient is unique, and I firmly believe in customizing my approach to suit their particular requirements. Central to my patient care philosophy is open and transparent communication, collaborative decision-making, and an unwavering dedication to the highest standards of medical excellence. With comprehensive training in lung transplantation and critical care medicine, I possess the knowledge and skills necessary to manage intricate medical challenges.

When I'm not at work, I find joy in traveling, indulging in a good book, and savoring precious moments with my family.

Here's a fascinating fun fact about me: I recently accomplished a cross-country drive from the East Coast to the West Coast, experiencing the breathtaking landscapes and diverse regions of the United States along the way.
