Philosophy

"My philosophy of care begins with putting my patients first. My goals are to provide the highest level of quality care by listening to my patients, understanding their needs and goals, making sure that they have a complete understanding of treatment options and exhausting practical conservative options prior to surgery. I strive to treat my patients with compassion, respect and dignity, while focusing on my patients’ priorities and optimizing their outcomes."
