Highlights, Experience & Education

Highlights
Graduated as a General Practitioner in 2015, Medical Sonographer since 2016, and Medical Writer since 2017. Authored and fact-checked thousands of medical articles now available online. Dedicated researcher with the mission of curating medical information and making it available to layman audiences.

I’ve always been passionate about biology and healthcare topics. I borrowed my aunt’s medicine books when I couldn’t read and imagined I was lecturing others about the human body. Since then, researching, learning, and teaching have been the cornerstone of my medical practice, and I believe information is the most important asset a patient can have before and after visiting a doctor’s office.

After receiving a degree in ultrasound, he worked in hospitals and started his private practice as a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer. He enjoys talking to patients and sharing medical information while moving the probe to look for a clear shot of anatomical structures.
