Care Philosophy: My goals are to engage patients in treatment decisions and encourage them to be active participants in their care; I believe in listening to patients first and foremost and having them dictate treatment choices. I don't always save lives, but I believe as a hand surgeon I am saving lifestyles—allowing all people to get back to doing what makes them happy as best they can—whether that is a hobby, an occupation, a sport or caring for their loved ones.
