Philosophy of Care: As an academic colorectal surgeon, my care philosophy is rooted in a patient-centered approach that emphasizes compassion, individualized treatment, and the integration of cutting-edge research and education. Ibelieve in treating each patient as a unique individual, listening to their concerns, and ensuring they are well-informed about their condition and treatment options. By combining evidence-based practices with a commitment to continuous learning and academic collaboration, I strive to provide the highest quality care, improve patient outcomes, and contribute to the advancement of colorectal surgery through education and research. My goal is to foster an environment of trust, empathy, and respect, ensuring that every patient feels supported throughout their journey to recovery.
