Who Am I?

Who I am is best described by my purpose, which is about doing good and improving my patients lives. It’s about being a meticulous surgeon with good hands, but more importantly, it is about informing and guiding each individual in making the right decision for them.  Making the decisions I would want for my own loved ones.  Being committed to doing the right things right. My commitment to you is to give you my complete attention and plenty of time to ensure all your questions are answered and all fears and concerns are heard.
