General surgery provides the base on which many surgical specialties are built, and the general surgeon continues to play a pivotal role in patient care. In this modern era, healthcare is a right, not a privilege; I enjoy my privileged role in helping patients get better and happily return to their activities of daily living.

In my practice, listening to my patients and responding to them with care, respect and compassion is of utmost importance. Developing a wonderful doctor-patient relationship is necessary for optimum care. By devoting time to develop this relationship with each of my patients, I am able to learn their individual health goals and educate them about their health conditions without prejudice. I strive to do the right thing for every patient every time using evidence-based medicine, delivered with the greatest care and compassion.
