Overview

Philosophy of care | My philosophy is to provide the best care I possibly can. I believe in engaging with you as my patient and encouraging you to be equally involved to achieve the best possible outcome. | Why I entered medicine | My initial goal in life was to help people. I began my career as a pharmacist and discovered I could be of even greater service as a physician and surgeon. | Community involvement | I donate to worthy causes locally, nationally and internationally. It's important to help the disadvantaged whenever possible. | Personal interests | When not at work, I spend quality time with my family and strive to instill in my children a desire to achieve a greater good. I also have an interest in advances in technology and like to read related journals and articles.
