Family medicine has been ingrained in me: my father practiced and my siblings practice now. Taking care of our health is a family affair. Each family member takes care of the other. Getting to know a patient means getting to know the family. That is what makes family medicine so special. I become a part of the team dealing with the entire family.

Gearing towards personalized healthcare makes family medicine fulfilling. I am excited to affiliate with MDVIP and improve my practice so I will have more time with each patient to develop an individualized care plan.

I practice in a community whose population is just as enthusiastic as I am about different kinds of healthcare. People are more conscious about their health and are looking for a physician who can talk with them one-on-one, but they may also seek one that will work for their family. I have been practicing in Queens, New York for 26 years and have grown to learn what matters most to my patients.
