Philosophy of care | My focus is always compassionate care. My goal is always providing the individualized care each patient needs.

Sitting at the bedside of a patient and providing care has always captured my interest. | Community involvement | In transplant medicine and cancer care, community outreach and education are central aspects of daily life.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care is that candor builds trust between you as the patient and me as your surgeon. Modern medicine is increasingly complex. You can only make good decisions for your own health if you understand the options, including frank discussions of the potential risks and benefits. When I meet with patients and their families, I employ a variety of methods to explain medical terminology and surgical procedures, such as sketching anatomy diagrams. You deserve to feel clear about your alternatives, secure in your decisions and confident in the skills of our entire health care team. | Why I entered medicine | Something can be a cliche and still be true: I wanted to help people. I come from a family of engineers, but I was drawn to the possibility of directly impacting individuals. I enjoy challenges and constantly learning new things. I like being face-to-face with patients and knowing my career is meaningful. It's also gratifying to be able to help my extended family navigate the health care system. | Community involvement | The causes that are most important to me are food insecurity, environmental protection and restoration, and voting rights. I also actively support my school-age children in their sports and other extracurricular community activities. | Personal interests | My current primary hobby is building bicycles and maintaining/modifying them for our family. We also enjoy hiking and playing board games together, and I am an adventurous eater and home cook.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy is to treat every patient with the same compassion, dedication and respect I would offer to a close friend or family member. I strive to provide the highest quality care possible, ensuring you and your child feel heard, valued and supported. | Why I entered medicine | I was drawn to medicine not only because of the challenge it presented, but also because I grew up surrounded by a deep sense of purpose in health care. My mother, a lactation specialist, and my father, a respiratory therapist and medical interpreter, both dedicated their lives to supporting others in moments of vulnerability. Their compassion and commitment to service inspired me from an early age, and I knew I wanted to follow a path that allowed me to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. | Community involvement | I am involved in community charities and engaged in pediatric advocacy efforts. | Personal interests | Fitness, traveling, food and finance keep me busy in my free time.
