Care Philosophy: It takes a significant amount of multidisciplinary coordination of care to deliver cutting-edge cardiac surgical therapy to the patients and the communities we serve. Under our experienced physician leadership team and direction, our department has performed at a remarkably high level for many years. Innovative technologies and techniques are responsibly implemented with the patients' best interests in mind. Our commitment to doing so distinguishes the cardiovascular service line here at RWJBH System. I am proud to lead a team that provides the best possible therapies for the widest selection of patients while still maintaining excellent outcomes.

Care Philosophy: I am a general surgeon, specializing in advanced procedures that employ minimally invasive approaches. I enjoy the goal-oriented nature of surgery, the teamwork that it involves, and the gratification that comes with seeing a surgical patient do well as a result of my technical skills. Surgery is often a last resort for many conditions, and patients can be anxious and have many questions prior to undergoing procedures. I value and respect the relationships I can develop with patients and their families, and find fulfillment in the trust patients place in me at an otherwise difficult point in their lives. I bring this philosophy to my practice to ensure a smooth and comfortable process for patients. I have a particular interest in robotic surgery, and believe that such a minimally invasive approach translates into superior outcomes for patients with respect to postoperative pain, recovery, and function. Accepted Health Plan information is only as accurate as the most current information submitted. Prior to your appointment, it is advisable to verify with a physician office that they are still a participating provider.

Care Philosophy: I treat every patient as if they were a family member. I take the time to make sure that the patient and family understands the nature of the medical condition, all the treatment options, and strategize a tailored, personalized plan of care. I take pride in technical surgical excellence in order to achieve the best outcome to eliminate the disease (tumor, aneurysm, AVM) and optimize quality of life. Our goal is to make a difference, providing the best clinical outcomes and improving quality of life in each patient. ?
