About Me
care philosophy
I try to put myself in my patient's shoes so I am more sensitive to their situation. It is my goal to treat the whole person and encourage patients to ask questions so they understand their condition and plan of care. This allows the patient and their family to be engaged in their care and recovery.General Surgery
