My endeavor

My endeavor is to provide surgical care guided by skill, integrity and compassion. What inspires me is the understanding that every patient I treat is someone's parent, grandparent, child or loved one. My goal is always the same: to get them home safely, stronger, healthier and better than they were before.

Care philosophy

I treat each patient the way I would want my own family treated, with honesty, clear communication and respect. I believe in providing direct access and personal attention so people understand their options and feel supported throughout their care. I stay involved at every step and work to create a thoughtful plan that reflects each patient’s needs and circumstances. My approach is grounded in consistency, accessibility and careful decision making so patients can move through their surgical care with confidence.
