Care philosophy
I treat my patients the way I would treat my family. My inspiration for becoming a surgeon came from a loved one’s hospital experience, and I carry that perspective with me in every patient interaction. My goal is to help each person feel more at ease, even when facing a difficult diagnosis. I believe patients should receive exceptional care supported by clear communication and guidance throughout treatment.
