Philosophy

"I believe surgical outcomes are best when patients are well-informed about their treatment options, such that they are able to choose the indicated therapy that fits their needs. In this way, I strive to provide excellent, patient-centered, comprehensive surgical care using a team-based approach. I also seek to train the next generation of surgeons to provide high-quality care, use up-to-date techniques and tools and perform cutting-edge research."
