Commitment to Patient-Centered Care
“I am honored to work at Hennepin Healthcare and take privilege in serving such a diverse community of patients. I work with an amazing group of mission-driven and compassionate multispecialty colleagues who allow me to provide the best patient-centered care possible. A good number of my patients are Hispanics who love being able to express and communicate in their native Spanish language. I concentrate on attentive listening to be able to find and provide the individual needs and proper care of each of my patients.”
