Board Certified GI Specialist committed to providing the best care available to my patients.

My focus is to always treat the patient not just the disease. I've told people many times that I value quality of life as highly as the quantity of life. Therefore, I use every resource at my disposal to address the problems. When treating neuroendocrine cancer, it is absolutely imperative to approach it with a multi-disciplinary approach because it crosses into so many different medical subspecialties. When we are successful, these people can live good, healthy lives. I find that giving the patient time and respect are critical to developing a sense of trust, because it is a team effort with the patient in the center. Our goal at the Rocky Mountain Cancer Center is to build a home for neuroendocrine patients, where they can feel comfortable that everyone has experience in this rare disease and all their questions can be answered. By having the most advanced expertise, imaging techniques, clinical trials, and treatments available all in one center, we can provide patients with the best hope for a healthy life.

My primary focus is to serve patients in a faith-based, patient-centered atmosphere : to treat the surgical condition in the context of the greater picture of the patient's life.

My goal is to make your surgery as comfortable as possible, minimize the impact on your life, and get you back to your daily routine as quickly as possible. By using an evidence-based, team approach I provide highly specialized surgical care to all of my patients. I value my patients' perspectives, concerns and decision-making as we work together to create an individualized care plan.
