Practice Philosophy
“To care for patients, you must care about them, and the best care you can provide to your patients is by listening carefully to their words. This helps me, as a rheumatologist, to reach the most accurate diagnosis and to provide the best possible treatment and management for different rheumatic diseases.
By listening, I can address my patients’ concerns, answer their questions, reassure their fears, comfort their pain so I can reach my goal of helping them live the highest quality of life.
Complementary medicine has been a field of interest for me, with a special focus on diet and its effect on human gut microbiota and its role in autoimmune/rheumatic diseases.“
