                                    I chose family practice because it allows me to establish a long term relationship with my patients. As a family physician, I am also able to be involved with every aspect of my patient's care while keeping up-to-date in all areas of medicine. As a primary care doctor, I see patients with many different problems. I also believe in treating my patients in the same manner I would want my relatives to be treated. 
My hobbies are painting, reading and traveling. I am an enthusiastic soccer player and fan. Hablo español y me gustaría ser su doctor.
