Surgery was a natural career choice for me. I love using my hands and am fascinated with the workings of the human body. These interests, combined with my desire to help people as directly as possible, led me to become a surgeon. As a physician, my goal is to provide excellent care while making each patient feel cared for. I want them to know they have been heard, and that their concerns, lifestyle, and support system were kept in mind when choosing a treatment plan. I never take for granted the trust someone puts in me to be their surgeon, and I strive to uphold that trust with every decision I make regarding their care.
