 Hi, I'm Samaya Khabal. I'm a primary care physician with Hackensack Meridian Medical Group in Biscaraway. I went into primary care because I enjoyed the relationships that I have with patients. I get to see them over a number of years, watch their health get better, hopefully, with time. I love chatting with them, catching up on what's going on in their life, seeing if what we're doing has been helping them, or if it's not, how can we help them to get better? I want them to feel comfortable. I want them to feel like they've been heard. And I want them to feel like if they haven't been heard that they are willing to tell me and say, hey, listen, I don't think you quite understood what I'm saying, or I feel like we didn't talk about this, and I really wanted to know about it. I have an interest in integrative and lifestyle medicine. Both of those focus on using non-medication methods to treat patients for common health conditions. I really focus on what the patient's lifestyle is like so I can get a sense of what's going on in their life and how can I work with them the best way to really help their health. What are they doing as far as they're eating? What's going on as far as stress? We know stress is bad. You feel bad when you have stress, but it impacts your body in all kinds of ways. And so actually making a real effort to reduce that stress is important for your health. Other things that can be useful for patients is actually keeping track of what they're eating. We put all kinds of stuff in that we don't remember or realize. So keeping track of what you're eating, keeping track of your portions, and maintaining healthy connections with other people. I believe less is more. So fewer pills, more time listening to the patient. It's really the mainstay of my care.
