“A patient’s quality of life is drastically affected by their skin, and I love the many ways
dermatologists can help have a positive impact. Seeing both adults and kids, doing procedures, using new leading-edge medications, along with routine visits – all of these things make my job interesting and rewarding.”

He has a clinical interest in the treatment of acne, eczema, psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa (inflammation and infection of sweat glands), and warts.
