He has expertise in managing symptoms and delaying disease progression. He provides personalized treatments tailored to each case, ranging from medications alone to procedures and advanced therapies. His goal is to relieve patients’ symptoms and improve their survival and well-being.

He became a doctor following in the footsteps of his mother who inspired him with her exemplary patient care.
