“A chronically underserved population needs a multitude of physicians to take care of them, and I hope the quality care that we provide at MLKCH will bring more physicians into the area with the same mission.”<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

Why were you drawn to working at MLKCH or what makes you want to stay long term at MLKCH?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Teaching has always been a passion of mine. When I found the opening at MLKCH, I was excited at the opportunity to teach residents while serving a population that is too often underserved and overlooked.\u00a0 The community surrounding MLKCH deserves the best care, and I look forward to helping deliver this.<\/p>\n

What are some essential values you would like to pass on to the residents joining MLK?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Listening to the patient is an essential part of the practice of medicine. As we progress in our training, we are bombarded with outside influences that take our time, but I find it essential to sit down eye-to-eye with every patient and listen to their concerns.\u00a0 Focusing on the issue that’s bothering them helps develop trust, and ultimately makes them feel better.<\/p>\n

What type of physicians would you hope our residents would become?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Compassionate and caring. I want the residents to grow their comfort and confidence talking to patients and covering every part of their care. Getting a patient to improve and feel better is ultimately the most important part of medicine, but feeling heard and trusting the care team makes a tremendous amount of difference to the patient. I want the patient to say to all my residents, “They listened to me and I trust that they’ll take great care of me.”<\/p>\n

What differentiates MLK from other residency programs?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

MLKCH has a unique residency. They treat a chronically underserved population and is designed to give them the best care possible. Seeing a community rise, build resources, and maintain a sense of community is such a reassuring thing to see. MLKCH’s residency is a reminder of the practice of old, a practice where the main objective is to give a patient the care and resources to make them better.<\/p>\n

Why did you want to be a core faculty member?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I’ve been in practice nearly 10 years and have always had a desire to teach the next generation of physicians. Filled with experience, I feel that I have a duty to relay my experience to residents. Teaching them to be compassionate, caring, and bright doctors provides a satisfaction I would not achieve out of the teaching setting. Patient will need care throughout time, and I want them to have a wonderful set of physicians taking care of them. My tutelage can hopefully help provide that care.<\/p>\n

How will our residency program benefit the community of South Los Angeles?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My hope is that it’ll expand the physician base taking care of the community of South Los Angeles. A chronically underserved population needs a multitude of physicians to take care of them, and I hope the quality care that we provide at MLKCH will bring more physicians into the area with the same mission.<\/p>\n

What do you do outside of practicing medicine to stay healthy \u2013 physically, mentally, and emotionally?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In my off time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two children. They are my life! We have two dogs and a cat who keep our home a lively place to be. I am a soccer goalie and love attending my kids’ sporting events as well. Binging a good show, reading a book, spending time with friends, and enjoying new foods also help me stay mentally and emotionally balanced. When time allows, our passion is to travel.<\/p>\n

Where do you draw your inner strength from to give your best to the patients?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We are all surrounded by sick friends and family as we grow up. My father was a physician as I was growing up, and I learned from him how important it was to take care of our sick. Through his guidance, I became a physician myself and I’ve continued to have the desire to make patients better physically and emotionally.<\/p>\n

Where did you grow up?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My hometown was a small town in western Pennsylvania, Greenville, PA. It was about an hour and a half north of Pittsburgh. The weather is a tad different here.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Back to Faculty main page <\/a><\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
