I am immensely proud of being a surgeon, but I am also a father, a husband, a soccer coach, and a coffee enthusiast and that makes me aware that my patients are also so much more – they are mothers, grandfathers, firefighters, teachers, and countless other important people. It is this connection with my patients that I find to be one of the most rewarding parts of being a doctor. I take great pride in taking care of my patients before surgery, in the operating room, and well into the future. I understand that surgery is intimidating and can be overwhelming, but my team will do everything we can to make your experience as stress-free as possible.
