Overview

Philosophy of care | My goal always is to provide compassionate and personalized care. | Why I entered medicine | I chose medicine to make a difference in people's lives. I specialize in bariatric surgery because obesity is one of the most serious risks to our community's health. I especially enjoy the reduction in medications and medical problems that my patients experience after weight-loss surgery. | Personal interests | I enjoy boating and sports.
