Ever since I was a child, I had dreamt of being a pediatrician. I loved playing with babies, toddlers and children of different ages. I started babysitting for my neighbors at the age of 15, and even went on to work briefly at a daycare center before starting medical school.

I graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Florida (UF) in Gainesville, Florida; I received my M.D. degree from the University of South Florida College of Medicine in Tampa, Florida; I completed General Pediatric Residency at Yale New Haven Hospital, New Haven, Connecticut; and I went on further to complete my fellowship/subspeciality in Pediatric Nephrology from UF as well. I am Board Certified in both General Pediatrics and Pediatric Nephrology.

After finishing my pediatric nephrology fellowship, I became an Assistant Professor in Pediatric Nephrology and the Director of the Pediatric Hypertension Clinic at UF. I treated patients with various kidney diseases, worked with children on dialysis, and managed children with kidney transplantation.

In 2020, I discovered the Direct Primary Care (DPC) movement. I love the concept of DPC because it allows patients to directly access their physicians, provides more time with the physician, and allows for a stronger patient-physician relationship, which enables one to make better healthcare choices!

What is Direct Primary Care?
What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is modern medicine that is meant to be more accessible, comprehensive and personalized, with an emphasis on the doctor-patient relationship, without the meddling of third party payers (insurance).

It is a membership-based alternative to traditional, insurance-based care. Using a membership model, the patients get better access, a closer relationship with the doctor, and most services for a low monthly fee.

I choose Direct Primary Care as my practice model because I desire to build long-lasting relationships with families; I want to be able to spend more time at each visit and not feel rushed; and I hope to provide proper educational tools to empower my patients and families to make the best healthcare choices. All of this can be only achieved through commitment of time, trust and transparency. Moreover, with this model, patients will have more access to the physician and be able to address their needs continuously without having long waiting periods.
