Care Philosophy: I have wanted to be a physician my entire life. The challenge of rapid evaluation and decisive treatment in surgery has always appealed to me. My goal is to treat my patients as individuals and provide the appropriate care and support, medical, emotional, and spiritual that they need, during difficult times in their lives.

Care Philosophy: I was drawn to surgery the first time I stepped into an operating room as a medical student. The most rewarding part of my job is my ability to so profoundly change a patients life through surgery. Every patient is different, even if their operation is the same, and it is this philosophy that allows me to connect with my patients on a more personal level.

Care Philosophy: My goal is for patients to be comfortable and informed about the decisions we make. Ultimately, I want to provide surgical care that I can be proud of and care I would want for my own family.

Care Philosophy: We are here to ensure your quality of life.
