I chose family medicine because it allows me to build long-term relationships and help patients navigate health decisions with clarity and confidence. I believe patients should be active participants in their care, and my role is to provide honest guidance, evidence-based options, and support?not to limit choice. The best outcomes come from shared decision-making that respects patient autonomy and individual goals. I am most fulfilled when helping patients take ownership of their health and pursue lives that are active, meaningful, and aligned with their values. Mercy?s commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care aligns with this approach and the standards I hold for myself professionally and personally.
