Laparoscopic Gallbladder Removal Cholecystectomy near Modesto, CA

Care Philosophy: Observation, reason, human understanding, courage…these make a physician.

Care Philosophy: I believe it is important to treat every patient with dignity and respect like you would a member of your own family. Medicine is both science and art, utilizing cutting edge technology to change a person's life. We must always remember to treat the patient as a whole, not just the disease.

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: Special interests: Management of benign and malignant diseases of the colon and rectum with a focus on minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic surgery.

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: 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!
