My name is Dr. Francis Luk, I'm a rheumatologist
here at Wake Forest Baptist Health.
I've always enjoyed sitting down, gathering
information, and then trying to come to a
diagnosis in order to treat patients.
And as I was rotating through rheumatology
clinics in residency, I noticed that I really
enjoyed seeing patients because these are
patients that you took care of over a long
period of time.
They will come back to you.
And you really did get to know your patient-
not just medically, but in their personal
lives as well too.
Having that relationship with a patient was
very nice.
I think one of the big things that differentiates
this place is the people who work here.
First of all, the people who we work with
here in Rheumatology, they're all very experienced-
and not only are they experienced, they're
also very friendly and easy to work with.
This place has a wealth of knowledge and that's
one of the things that really drew me here.
There's lots of research going on and being
in an academic facility here at Wake Forest,
it will not only improve me as a rheumatologist
but improve my knowledge as well too.
I like to cook.
I like to look up recipes and go out and find
the ingredients myself and then experiment
at home and see if it's a good meal.
