Care philosophy

I believe in providing care that is innovative, personalized and grounded in the best science available. Every patient deserves an operation tailored to their needs, with the goal of restoring strength and quality of life — not just repairing anatomy. By combining advanced, evidence-based techniques with honest communication, compassion and teamwork, I strive to deliver outcomes that matter most: recovery, strength and returning to the life they love.
