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.
