Mission & Approach
“I’ve always enjoyed working with my hands and finding ways to innovate, which certainly played a role in how and why I chose to become a surgeon. For me, there is no greater honor than being trusted by someone to operate on them… and no greater privilege. For that, I will continue to use the comprehensive surgical abilities I have, along with total commitment, towards achieving great results for my patients
My mission is to give my patients comfort and confidence that they will receive my total attention and timely, state-of-the-art surgical care focused on results. A major factor in determining what’s going on with someone’s health, and in being able to address their needs, is listening. It is important to me that my patients know that I am personally invested in their good health, and in helping them maximize their quality of life. That’s the kind of care I would want for my own family.”
