About
Bio
Hi! I am a doctor because I have an intense desire to help figure out problems with their health, and assist them in making changes to improve their wellbeing. As a surgeon, that sometimes involves operations, but more often than not, my role is a "puzzle solver" and a coordinator -- taking pieces of information that don't seem to connect, and using them like a jigsaw puzzle to see the answer!
