Personal Statement

Born in Hong Kong and raised in New York City’s Chinatown, where both of my parents worked tirelessly in garment factories six days a week, I have a deep understanding of the challenges many of my patients face. It is a privilege to return and serve this community that shaped me. On a personal level, this community is more than just where I work—it is my home.

There is no greater professional joy than caring for my friends and their families: parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and children. This community is my family, and in my practice, each patient is treated as such. It is my commitment to stay at the forefront of medical advancements and provide only the most advanced and highest-quality care—because that is what my family deserves.
