What do you attribute your success to?

  • I attribute my success to my relationship to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His sacrificial death on the cross demonstrates how I should care for and love others. I love and care for patients because he first loved me. Second, my incredibly supportive wife who has raised our children and kept our home functional while I have been away helps me stay focused on delivering the best medical care I know how. Third, my grandfather who demonstrated how to be a compassionate competant family physician.
