Hi, my name is Timothy Lee.

00:05.231 --> 00:08.774
I practice family medicine
in Optum, Roslyn Heights.

00:12.374 --> 00:16.906
The reason why I chose
family medicine as my specialty

00:16.951 --> 00:19.745
was actually,
back in elementary school,

00:20.186 --> 00:21.642
my dad had a heart attack

00:21.680 --> 00:26.628
and that kind of pushed me
to pursue medicine as my profession.

00:26.997 --> 00:32.397
I really believe that focusing on
that preventative medicine

00:32.434 --> 00:35.266
is really what leads to longevity

00:35.280 --> 00:37.958
and patients' long-term
well-being and health.

00:40.954 --> 00:43.282
Try to find the provider
that you can connect well with

00:43.777 --> 00:48.088
because without having
a physician-patient relationship,

00:48.567 --> 00:50.560
it's difficult
to establish that rapport,

00:50.597 --> 00:53.091
it's difficult to establish
that trust in your physician.

00:53.325 --> 00:55.170
The best ability is availability.

00:55.395 --> 00:58.223
So I pride myself in really
being available to my patients.

00:58.269 --> 01:00.930
So, really, when they have
questions and concerns,

01:00.971 --> 01:03.149
I really try to be available to them

01:03.176 --> 01:05.651
so that way we can work together.

01:09.480 --> 01:11.878
I have a lot
of different hobbies I enjoy.

01:12.573 --> 01:15.074
Fishing, golf,
a lot of outdoor activities.

01:15.111 --> 01:17.577
I love hiking,
when I get the chance.

01:17.598 --> 01:19.924
Recently, it's been
a little bit busier

01:19.985 --> 01:21.881
because I have a newborn at home.

01:22.394 --> 01:25.844
But, definitely, I try to be
well-rounded as a person as well

01:25.875 --> 01:28.140
and I have a lot
of different activities

01:28.185 --> 01:29.851
that I enjoy doing in my spare time.
