I am here to develop an ambulatory practice that will serve the patient in the area of the peninsula. Um I know the gastrointestinal access is very much need and I plan to work in collaboration with all the primary care and specialty in the area to make a team work. I knew I wanted to be a doctor since age five because I wrote in my first sentence in kindergarten. However, G I was an obvious choice, I have a great sense of humor, I like poop joke and I love to eat and I'm a great cook. So G. I is really natural for me.
