My Approach to Care

My passion in Rheumatology began when I witnessed firsthand suffering associated with rheumatoid arthritis in my family member. Over the years, remarkable advances have happened in diagnosis and management of autoimmune rheumatological disorders within the field of Rheumatology. It is extremely gratifying to see the results of a well diagnosed and managed patient. It’s also gratifying to see the change in their life brought upon by proper care. It is my passion to help the patient lead the best life possible while navigating this difficult disorder. I am thankful to help them on their journey and make a difference.
