As a doctor at Sanitas, I listen to my patients and get to know them. In a collaborative partnership, I help them achieve their health goals. A good day at work for me is knowing that I’ve done my best to help my patients improve their quality of life. It’s gratifying to receive a smile of thanks from a happy patient. I was born and raised in the Philippines, and after medical school there, I emigrated to the U.S. I’m fluent in both English and Tagalog. I chose medicine as my career because I care about helping improve the lives and health of others. When I take off my coat, I enjoy swimming, reading and spending time with family and friends.
