"I have always enjoyed clinical teaching, with the belief that it is this 'one-on-one', hands on interaction, that crystallizes the didactic knowledge into practical use. I enjoy working with all classes of people, and pride myself in my ability to move seamlessly between the indigent, 'VIP', and the military patient populations, and provide the same quality of care to them all." contact info.
