Clinical Interest for Patients

My passion and experience are focused on process improvement for surgical patients emphasizing safety, efficacy, and rapid recovery through minimally invasive surgery and narcotic avoidance.


Care Philosophy

Grounded in the elective relationship with patients, I work to optimize patients before surgery, select the right operation for the patient's needs and interests, and execute a technically perfect procedure with an emphasis on multimodality pain control and close communication.
