Q&A
What inspired you to become a physician?
Why did you come to WorldClinic?
WorldClinic is a breath of fresh air. Instead of a bustling emergency department where my attention is pulled in any number of directions, it’s an opportunity to concentrate fully on the patient and create a doctor-patient relationship that is difficult to find in today’s healthcare system. Being a part of a care team that is equally as invested in the patient’s well-being is remarkable. WorldClinic allows me to practice medicine the way it was meant to be practiced, quality care, and teamwork with a personal touch.
