Laparoscopic Umbilical or Ventral Hernia Repair near Kirkland, WA

Care Philosophy: Surgical care for patients is my passion; making sure my patients receive excellent medical and surgical care, with all options; helping each step along the way- to schedule efficiently, and set up followup appointments quickly by friendly caring staff, who answer phones when you call. I am a rare surgeon, completely independent; I hold privileges in all area hospital systems: MultiCare and CHI- Fransican, and out -patient at Meridian Surgery Center. My patient are not just down streamed in referrals loops within a system directed employed providers, but with my independence- my patients have all options, and I help them all through the process.
