He is a past elected board member of The Doctors of BC, a publicly known champion of patients’ rights, a pioneer in the delivery of medical services and a telemedicine expert.

He believes the patient should be at the top of the pyramid of importance.  His primary objective is to ensure that the delivery of medical care whether it’s virtual or face to face, is conducted in the safest manner, in line with institutional goals, within healthcare regulations, centered on patient outcomes and increased access to healthcare for all.
