I started practicing telemedicine in 2015. Running my own virtual primary care practice means that I get to make a more meaningful impact on the health of my patients.
My Resume
I have practiced in many different healthcare settings from a free clinic in Compton, California to an HMO in Portland, Oregon. Primary care medicine is important for the prevention of diseases and the management of chronic conditions.
Philosophy
I have realized that exercise, nutrition, and mental health are my most important go-tos for ideal health. And I have found that I do best with patients who have a similar outlook.
It’s important that I empower my patients and share my knowledge with them. Primary care is a relationship and there are always obstacles to tackle together.
Practice Style
As a western medicine-trained physician I have a lot of faith in health technology only after we have exhausted lifestyle factors such as exercise, diet, stress, and sleep control.
I am passionate about the science of medicine and consider myself well-read in functional, integrative, and holistic medicine. But these cannot stand alone and the mainstay of health should be prevention and relying on the body’s natural ability to heal.
