When I was in school, I wanted to be an astronaut! But later in life things changed for me ….. I came across a wonderful Biology professor who made me re-think my career choices. I was really drawn toward human physiology and pathology hence Medicine became my obvious choice. I believe in a holistic approach, treating not just the problem. The human body is a miraculous machine and we have to look at the entire machine and take care of all of it. I am a strong proponent of preventive medicine and believe that we have miles to go with this approach.
