I believe that being a good doctor begins with being a good listener. In today’s fast-paced medical world, where numbers and procedures often define success, I hold on to a simple truth — I am a doctor first, and a cardiologist next.
Over the years, I’ve realised that patients don’t just come seeking treatment; they come seeking understanding. Many simply want someone to listen — to hear their full story without interruption. I make it a point to create that space. Every consultation starts with an open-ended conversation, allowing my patients to share freely while I listen carefully, note what matters most, and understand the person behind the problem.
My approach is rooted in empathy and mindfulness. Whether it’s a routine health check-up or a complex cardiac condition, I aim to add value to every encounter — helping each person walk away feeling heard, informed, and reassured. To me, that’s what good medicine is about.
Technical skill and clinical judgment are vital, but what gives them meaning is the human connection. I strive to bring both science and compassion into every interaction — ensuring that each patient I meet experiences care that is thoughtful, respectful, and truly patient-centered.
