PROFESSIONAL PHILOSOPHY AND APPROACH TO PATIENT CARE:
“Many say that being an anesthesiologist is challenging, with the patient’s life in our hands during surgery. However, I believe that with proper preparation, surgeries can proceed smoothly and stress-free. Anesthesia’s safety lies in the meticulous preparation of each patient, considering their unique needs and conditions. While not every child is blessed with perfect health, medical advancements enable us to ensure the safety of all patients, no matter their health challenges.”
