“I am fluent in 4 languages, have a lot of experience caring for women of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I have also personally experienced a lot of hardship and have a lot of empathy for patients and what they go through.

My goal as a physician is to make the patient feel cared for and important. They are my priorities and ensuring that they receive the best medical care is imperative to me.“
