My Approach to Healthcare
I enjoy dermatology because of the variety of skin conditions that I encounter. I get to take care of patients from newborns to the elderly and must be prepared for the unexpected each day. I chose academic dermatology because my passion is in taking care of complex dermatologic conditions. Every day I see the impact of these skin conditions on my patients’ quality of life, and I consider it a privilege to walk the course of diagnoses and management of these conditions with my patients. Building relationships and educating my patients are my biggest strengths, and I think they empower my patients to make the best decisions about their health.
