My goal is to provide excellent communication as I educate my patients and family on the diagnosis, workup, and management options of complex disease processes. I value each patient’s trust in me and it is not taken lightly. This is optimal healthcare as it is patient-focused and strives to ensure the patient understands and is comfortable with the treatment plan. I primarily focus on minimally-invasive techniques when possible to achieve the best surgical outcomes. Together with the patient and other providers, we will achieve the optimal patient care.
