Professional Statement

I believe in educating my patients about their disease and involving them in the decision making process. Most endocrinologic disorders need life-long monitoring and treatment and my primary goal is to improve my patient's quality of life while treating their condition along with providing extensive counselling. I have a special interest in taking care of patients with diabetes and obesity and preventing their long term complications.
