I am a unique doctor who is dedicated to helping my patients understand the reason for their condition, and the various modalities for treatments. I love making a difference in someone's life, and allowing their voice and opinions to be heard. I got into medicine because of wanting to help those who are intellectually challenged. I have been volunteering since junior high school with the special Olympics, and hope to at Brookewood at some point. I am unique in the sense that I don't think another career was meant for me. I am young, and highly motivated to continue participating with the hospital on call staff and trauma. I am board qualified and eager for advancement in my career. I also take interest in new innovative technology such as attending Wright medical advanced surgical techniques in treatment of those with Charcot deformities with rod/beaming and circular external frame techniques. I believe I was able to offer valuable insight into the design of particular instrumentation that was not considered before.

I had the upmost respect and privilege to work with the group of Houston Foot & Ankle and I had the opportunity to learn a multitude of educational benefits. I was able to do what interests me the most, the hospital aspects of the practice. I have privileges for Memorial Hermann NE, St Joseph, and Kingwood Medical Center.

I am a former resident at the St Joseph Medical Center in downtown Houston specializing in RRA and PMSR. I have extensive volunteer work with the special needs and love working with a variety of people. I am from Houston and I am very fortunate to be able to continue my career here. I am very hardworking, motivated, and hungry to make an update impact. Read less
