  • Philosophy of Care:

    My recommendations are tailored to the individual patient. I explain potentially complex diagnoses and treatments to the patient and his or her family in a way that allows them to fully understand the situation and to make a truly informed decision. I believe in a comprehensive, coordinated approach to medical and surgical care. While many recommendations are surgical, I may also suggest non-surgical or a combination treatment plan.
