On Practicing Medicine . . .
“I can’t think of anything more satisfying than practicing
medicine. It’s such a privilege to be able to use whatever
skills I have to truly help people live a better life; a life that’s
active, rewarding, and free of pain.”
On Coming Home
“It’s very gratifying to come back to practice medicine
in the community where I grew up. Many of my patients are actually
old friends, neighbors and classmates. And now, I find myself treating
their children and their parents. What could be more gratifying?”
When I’m Not Practicing Medicine
“I devote every minute I have to spare to my family. My children
are a wonderful blessing, and my husband and I are having the time
of our lives watching them learn and grow.”
