When asked to describe myself, two things pop into my head. I am a family medicine physician and a mom. I am many other things as well but first and foremost I take care of my family and my patients.
I have always wanted to be a family medicine doctor, I think it is in my blood. And I am a strong believer that family life and work life are never completely separate. I practice medicine the same way I treat my family, 100%, all the time. When patients ask my opinion, I try to give them the same answer I would give to my mom, my husband, my children.
Each person is unique, and getting to know somebody on a personal level is an integral part of how I care for them. And that is the beauty of practicing family medicine. It is an art of getting to know not just one person, but their spouse, children, and if I am lucky, entire families.
