Q: What’s an example of a time you helped a patient you’re especially proud of?
A: I recently had a patient who I’d seen three years ago for a precancerous tongue lesion. When I found out he never followed up with the referred surgeon and canceled his rebiopsy with me due to financial concerns, I called him and offered to treat him without charge. It turned out to be cancerous. I helped him get to a specialist and have been keeping in touch. Moments like these remind me of the impact we can have on families during their most challenging times.
Q: What is one thing your patients should know about you?
A: I prioritize the human factor, even over financial success, and work tirelessly to ensure every patient receives the exceptional care and experience they deserve.
