Best General Surgeons and General Surgery Doctors in Morristown, NJ

I am a general surgeon, specializing in advanced procedures that employ minimally invasive approaches. I enjoy the goal-oriented nature of surgery, the teamwork that it involves, and the gratification that comes with seeing a surgical patient do well as a result of my technical skills. Surgery is often a last resort for many conditions, and patients can be anxious and have many questions prior to undergoing procedures. I value and respect the relationships I can develop with patients and their families, and find fulfillment in the trust patients place in me at an otherwise difficult point in their lives. I bring this philosophy to my practice to ensure a smooth and comfortable process for patients. I have a particular interest in robotic surgery, and believe that such a minimally invasive approach translates into superior outcomes for patients with respect to postoperative pain, recovery, and function. Accepted Health Plan information is only as accurate as the most current information submitted. Prior to your appointment, it is advisable to verify with a physician office that they are still a participating provider.
