Laparoscopic Gallbladder Removal Cholecystectomy near Antioch, CA

Care Philosophy: I feel medicine is a partnership with my patients to provide them with the best care possible. I always aim to give my patients the same level of care I would expect for my own family.

Care Philosophy: Great care requires a team approach. I believe we should have all the information we need to make informed decisions, and to know in advance what to expect from surgery and recovery. The focus of my work is general surgery (hernia, gall bladder, emergency surgery, etc.) but I have a special interest in treating diseases of the thyroid/parathyroid, breast, and colon. I also devote a significant portion of my practice to treating cancer, including breast and colon cancer. For all my surgeries I use minimally invasive surgical techniques and multimodal pain control methods whenever possible to reduce recovery time and post-operative pain. I want people to be able to get back to their lives and families as soon as possible!

Care Philosophy: As a board certified general surgeon and fellowship trained laparoscopic surgeon I have had the privilege of practicing at Washington Hospital since 2001. My practice philosophy is to provide concierge level general and advanced laparoscopic surgical care by taking my time to explain the disease processes, explain the various options available, and to provide that care in a safe, expeditious and professional manner.
