Personal Statement
I have been in the medical field since 2000 and have been a pediatric neurologist since 2012. I have learned and evolved in my approach to patient care through my experiences, and I am committed to providing compassionate and evidence-based care that evolves with current medical recommendations. I believe in the importance of being culturally sensitive, recognizing that each patient's background and beliefs significantly influence their health journey. By integrating empathy with the latest clinical guidelines, I strive to create a supportive environment for effective patient care and thus paving way for optimal health outcomes.
I am fortunate to have a loving family, including two wonderful sons, who bring joy to my life. In my free time, I indulge in outdoor activities like trekking and hiking, which are perfect for enjoying in the beautiful Texas weather. I involve myself in various community activities that provide social support and a sense of community.
