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.

I thought the doctors complete thoroughness and communication was outstanding. I have a lot of confidence in her and feel like she asked all the right questions and wanted to make sure I didn't have any questions myself. She listened intently to all my questions and concerns. She did not make a snap judgment and will be sure to have all the information needed before making a decision as to what care is required. I thought she was fabulous.
