About Me

When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors, including bicycling, camping, hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing.
 

Care Philosophy

I have three siblings, and I am the only one who went into healthcare. I have always been fascinated by the field because I appreciate how healthcare allows me to help people. In my work, I try to get to know my patients, understand where they are coming from and be as open and attentive as possible to their needs.
 

Area of Interest

I enjoy all aspects of surgery, and I am drawn to bariatric surgery and complex robotic hernia surgery.

Extremely knowledgeable, caring, patient and even drew a diagram to help explain my medical issue. He listened to all my concerns and answered every question. Not once did he rush my visit. I highly recommend him!
