Colon-Rectal Surgery Associates, PC
Philosophy of care | As a colorectal surgeon, I strive to provide the highest level of care while treating you with the respect and dignity that you deserve. | Why I entered medicine | In college, I volunteered at a hospital for children with special needs. While there I was able to personally see how much of a role the physicians and nurses played in the lives of the children and that feeling is what drew me toward medicine. | Community involvement | Throughout my career I have volunteered in clinics for those in homeless shelters. I have also participated in church and community health screenings and events. | Personal interests | Outside of my medical/research interests, I enjoy spending time with my family and traveling.
