Care Philosophy: As a trauma and acute care surgeon, you often meet families at their most vulnerable moment. What I have learned is that people are profoundly resilient when given the truth. The greatest compliment I could ever receive is being entrusted in the care of your loved one during a crisis. When given this opportunity, I promise to take care of you as if you were my own family.

Care Philosophy: I care for my patients the way I would want my family members cared for. I treat the entire patient, not just the disease process or injury that brought them to the hospital.

Care Philosophy: I will always abide by the standard of care and practice evidence-based medicine/surgery. I will personalize your care plan to your particular problem or injury by integrating your underlying medical conditions, functional status and support system into decision making. I enjoy the challenge of dealing with complex, critically ill patients. I value the personal relationships I develop with my patients and their families in the hospital and clinic. I vow to deliver excellent, comprehensive preoperative, operative and post-operative care. I will work hard, be upfront and honest, and always provide you and your family with realistic expectations and outcomes. In return, I expect the same from you, the patient, in the recovery process.

Care Philosophy: Our team specializes in general and advanced minimally-invasive procedures to treat a variety of serious conditions.
