Professional Statement
Far beyond the technical aspects of surgical procedures, my personal interactions with patients and their families are just as important in the healing process, and I take pride in providing kindness, comfort and reassurance during moments when these qualities can make all the difference. Working with so many patients over the years has been rewarding beyond measure and along with caring for my family, are the reasons I get up every morning with a sense of purpose and meaning.
