"Throughout my life, the importance of education has been important. That’s why I’m excited to be a part of helping to train a new generation of physicians as they go through their residency. Indeed, one of the things I love about my practice is helping patients understand what the cause of their pain is, and
how we are going to treat it; educated patients feel a stronger connection with their physician and empowered when they know what’s happening to them and why. I love what I do because we can help to markedly improve our patients’ quality of life, which is one of the most meaningful impacts we can
make for our patients."
