Practice philosophy: Every patient deserves compassion, respect and the highest quality of care. I take the time to listen. Together, we will come up with the best plan to treat patient concerns and goals.
What are you passionate about and why? Being a surgeon is a privilege. It is not a job but a passion. I strive to provide the best and most up-to-date care by prioritizing the patient. Trust, transparency, communication and teamwork are key. Patients will feel reassured and have a clear plan after our visit.
What is something you have learned from your patients? Having to see a surgeon is a vulnerable and scary position to be in. I make people feel comfortable and cared for by treating everyone as I would a loved one or friend.
