Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider. I am able to serve people by improving their health. Using the knowledge acquired and continually improved to improve my communities health improves our quality of life. 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? A good primary care provider listens, tries to understand their patient and help them reach their health goals while also offering guidance where the goals might need to be adjusted for a better outcome. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy golf, cooking for my family, relaxing in my backyard listening to the birds and listening to good music.
