Armand Golchin, MD
I am an Internal Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, and Telemedicine physician who cares for patients in various locations and settings. I chose medicine because it is a fascinating and challenging field. Understanding the intricacies of the human body’s anatomy and physiology is stimulating and motivating. However, my main motivation for becoming a physician is the honor of serving others.
Providing care for patients is a privilege. Given the complexity and nature of their illnesses, it requires a collaborative team effort to help them recover. Nurses, social workers, consultants, pharmacists, nutritionists, case managers, physical therapists, respiratory therapists, and many others contribute to the patient’s well-being. When the team works together seamlessly and patients show improvement, it is incredibly rewarding.
