My patient care philosophy is to follow the Hippocratic Oath, “To prevent disease whenever possible, for prevention is preferable to a cure.” What would you like people to know about you as a physician?| I am empathetic and listen to patients’ concerns. Why did you decide to become a physician? I decided to become a physician after I was accepted into a combined program after graduating from high school. My great-grandfather was a physician in England and I had always heard interesting stories about his life.
