Care Philosophy: We want to be your trusted choice for personalized health care and wellness. Our mission is to help you be well, get well, and stay well.

Care Philosophy: 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.
