This afternoon, I was handed something simple — a bag of avocados, freshly picked from the backyard of my 74-year-old patient. Not store-bought, not wrapped in ribbon — just nestled in a reusable bag, still carrying the scent of sun and soil.

They were huge (I gasped a little), and yes — avocados are my favorite. But more than the fruit itself, what truly moved me was this gentle gesture… a quiet “thank you” from someone who trusted me to care for her, and still does.

There is something sacred about that trust.

It reminds me that being a doctor is not just about test results, diagnoses, or prescriptions. It’s about presence. Patience. Paying attention. It’s about becoming a small part of someone’s story — and being invited back, season after season.

To my patients:
Thank you for the privilege of being your doctor.
Thank you for the stories, the small talks, the still-warm harvests, and the moments of honesty and hope you bring into my day.

You make this work meaningful, and my life infinitely richer.

Here’s to health, heart, and little joys from the garden. 🤍🥑🌱

Let’s use antibiotics wisely, only when truly necessary.

Antibiotics do not treat viral infections such as colds and flu 🤧. Always seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional before taking antibiotics.

A glimpse into the many kind and touching messages from those I am honored to care for — one of grief and loss, one of healing and success, one of steady progress.

Different journeys, but each one touching, inspiring, and full of heart. Sometimes, healing means simply being present. 😌

Thank you to my dear patients for sharing your stories with me.
