Care Philosophy: In a world that is becoming increasingly disconnected due to technology, I strive to give patients a personable experience wherein I can join them in their medical care and decision making without simply dictating what I may feel they need. Patients should expect to have their questions answered to their satisfaction and be given clear options and recommendations that they can then use to make informed decisions about their own health going forward. My staff and I constantly look for ways to provide a more engaging and patient centered atmosphere. Despite the often stressful nature of seeking medical advice, we truly want patients to feel reassured that they will receive friendly, thoughtful and timely care from every member of our office.

I love being able to help my patients with the best technology and tools so they can return to work and enjoying their life as soon as possible after surgery."
