What’s the best part about being a physician?
A.
The best part about being a physician is to know that I can make a huge impact on someone’s life and to know that I was able to do that for them. I see my patients after a year and they are so thankful and grateful for how I have helped change their lives. We have several support meetings for our patients after surgery and it turns into one big party as everyone is so appreciative.
