Q: A meaningful life is…
A: A purposeful life. To me, this means a worthwhile job, a true love, beloved children and fulfilled dreams. I believe that we all need to discover our true purpose and passion in life; and the journey of working ceaselessly to realize our dream would produce a ripple effect and great impact to those around us.
Q: What do you enjoy most about your work?
A: I very much enjoy connecting with my patients on a deeper level and getting to know their sincerest personalities and even idiosyncrasies. A doctor-patient relationship is a very unique and privileged one; and I enjoy being able to using this privilege along with my microsurgical skills to effect a real improvement in patients’ lives. I realize through all my interactions with patients that sometimes they need more than a drug or medication to feel better. Often, they need a listening ear or a comforting touch and I feel privileged to be able to make them feel better when I can.
