"I enjoy the science that goes into understanding disease and the various treatment approaches. I also find it challenging and rewarding to remain at the forefront of my specialties, expand my knowledge base and, as a result, continue to become a better doctor. But the reason I am here is to help individuals and their families to get through a difficult time in their lives. Most fulfilling of all is developing a relationship with these people and making sure they're always receiving the best possible care."
