"Over the course of my career, I have enjoyed listening to my patients. I enjoy hearing about their families, their careers, and what they do for fun. I think I have honed my listening skills over the last three decades to help diagnose and treat medical conditions. A prior mentor at Emory told me, 'The patient will always tell you what is wrong. You just have to listen.' That has held true for me and my career. I look forward to hearing what you have to tell me".
