Anorectal Fistula near Gainesville, GA

Care Philosophy: In a complex world with many difficult choices, the most difficult choices that people will make will be about either their own health or the health of their loved ones. I try my best to treat everyone as they were my spouse, my parent, my child, or anyone else in my family. I believe firmly in delivering the right care at the right time with the right team. I believe that care can only be delivered through teamwork approach and the patient is at the center of the team. Medicine and surgery are not perfect, but I have found that by using this approach, we maximize our potential for success, and in this way, we deliver true value.
