Care Philosophy: I want to be patient-centric and efficient. I became a medical provider because I want to help people, to use my hands, to learn, to think, to make the world a better place.

Care Philosophy: It is important to provide aggressive, but compassionate care to the community in cooperation with their primary care physicians and other specialists involved with their care.

Care Philosophy: I like to educate patients, listen to them, answer their questions, and thereby empower them to make the best treatment decisions as individuals. I also utilize a team-approach to provide excellent patient care. I decided to become a Gynecologic-Oncologist for the unique combination of interesting surgical procedures along with the opportunity to get to know my patients and their families through continuity of care.

Care Philosophy: I want to make a difference in people's life, make them feel whole again, and get them back in their normal routine, pain free, with a speedy recovery. Our team understands there is no convenient time for a hernia repair, gallbladder or appendix removal, or a breast or colon cancer diagnosis. These conditions can upset your world, but we are here as a team to help you through the process, to take care of you, and to provide minimal disruption in your life.

Care Philosophy: Every patient is unique and should be treated as such.

Care Philosophy: With 21 years of experience in surgery, I provide my patients with clinically excellent and thoughtful care.

Care Philosophy: I feel medicine is a partnership with my patients to provide them with the best care possible. I always aim to give my patients the same level of care I would expect for my own family.

Care Philosophy: I strive to treat each patient as a unique individual, understand his/her concerns, and provide them with comprehensive care.

Care Philosophy: I aim to provide comprehensive, high quality care while allowing my patients a professional environment to feel comfortable discussing important medical concerns.

Care Philosophy: Great care requires a team approach. I believe we should have all the information we need to make informed decisions, and to know in advance what to expect from surgery and recovery. The focus of my work is general surgery (hernia, gall bladder, emergency surgery, etc.) but I have a special interest in treating diseases of the thyroid/parathyroid, breast, and colon. I also devote a significant portion of my practice to treating cancer, including breast and colon cancer. For all my surgeries I use minimally invasive surgical techniques and multimodal pain control methods whenever possible to reduce recovery time and post-operative pain. I want people to be able to get back to their lives and families as soon as possible!
