“My decision to become a physician was greatly influenced and inspired by my close interaction with my parents and grandparents, who had careers of selfless service and ministry to the public and the disadvantaged. With this background, the ability to help patients overcome their medical problems and make them feel better has always appealed to me, even at a young age.
“Today, after nearly two decades as a practicing GI specialist, this is still my objective . . . and its own reward. During that time I’ve also learned that gastroenterology — and medicine in general — is as much an art as a science. It requires listening, being sensitive to each individual’s needs and always giving the compassion and focus each person deserves.”
