Early detection saves lives

“I made the decision to pursue a career in radiology while in medical school. My background in physics drew me to this specialty. Since becoming a radiologist, I’ve stayed on top of the latest developments in my field through continuing education. I have completed many courses in specialized areas such as MRI, CT scan, mammography and ultrasound.”

Providing the utmost compassionate care

“Providing compassionate care is something I take great pride in. If a patient is nervous or is anxious to see their test results, I will sit and talk to them, answer their questions and do my best to make them feel at ease. It’s the same level of care that I would want for my own family members.”
