How, when and why did you decide to pursue a career in medicine?

Playing with my kids. My five-year-old boy and three-year-old girl are the lights of my life.

What do you like most about working at RIA?

The camaraderie between the radiologists and all the other physicians and hospital staff we are privileged to work with. Our focus is always patient-centered, and it takes a team.
