Professional Statement

Physicians are given a unique gift to positively affect their patients’ health and overall well-being in a very personal way. We are privileged to be entrusted with intimate aspects of people’s lives. I am honored to serve in such a capacity. As Stan Lee and Uncle Ben advised, “With great power comes great responsibility.” I especially appreciate the opportunity to serve in rural and underserved communities. “If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and filled,’ without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?” — James 2:15–16
