Care Philosophy: My team and I believe in clear and open communication at all times. I always do my best to clearly explain the disease process, the reasoning behind my recommendations, and the details of surgery to every patient and his or her family members. I find this open communication and personal relationship is essential to optimal outcomes. Every patient has my personal cell phone number, which I encourage them to call whenever necessary.
