Care Philosophy: ?Medicine today is changing rapidly and physicians must adapt. In my practice, I stay at the forefront of new medical knowledge and new surgical techniques like robotic surgery. My practice focus is medical and surgical weight loss. Patients come to me with a long history struggling to lose weight and often have a variety of concerns, medical problems and challenges. Working closely with my patients, we craft a comprehensive plan that allows them to work to transform their lives. Using my medical knowledge, I individualize care for each patient by crafting a plan to allow them to achieve long-term success. Unlike other surgical fields, bariatric surgery requires close interaction with my patients- that closeness has sustained me throughtout my career.?
