In a health care system that can often feel rushed and transactional, physicians like Dr. Lerose Dhanoa demonstrate the value of taking the time to listen. For him, medicine extends beyond diagnosing and treating to understanding people, building trust and creating space for patients to feel seen, heard and supported.
In his day-to-day work, Dr. Dhanoa brings curiosity, humour and compassion to every patient interaction. And many years into his practice, it is still the human side of medicine that motivates him the most.
"In simple terms, I'm a professional listener, a part-time detective and a full-time advocate for my patients"
