Summary
Patient-focused Family Physician exceptionally well-versed in providing treatments to patients based on specific disease determination, engaging patients in conversation and scanning patients' reports and histories to determine conditions. Compassionate and committed with 17 years of experience in family practice, including 8 years running a private practice.
Personal and family situations led to the closure of my practice in 2021. Since then I have been the sole caregiver of my elderly mother after the passing of my father. In search of a position that would provide me with the flexibility to be able to continue to fulfill this obligation.
