During her residency, she dedicated her time at various wound care centers and found herself drawn to the fascinating and complex nature of wound care. She finds it rewarding to be able to utilize the vast array of treatment options available in wound care, tailoring to specific patient needs.
Her philosophy as a physician is to treat her patients the same way she would treat her own family, and is a firm believer in providing the highest standard of patient care.
