I really enjoy building relationships with my patients and actively engaging them in the care they receive. The ability to provide compassionate care, prioritize preventive care, and restore health ignites my passion and keeps me motivated in the ever-evolving field of patient care. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? As a Primary Care Provider, it is crucial to integrate physical and mental health to provide comprehensive care. As a frontline care provider, the primary role of the PCP is to prioritize holistic care, recognizing the influence of mental health on overall well-being by promoting preventive care, addressing acute and chronic health issues, and considering the impact of mental health. When we work together with patients, we can help patients achieve optimal well-being and improve outcomes. It brings me pure joy to see my patient thriving. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am an avid learner and always take on new challenges.
