Overview

Philosophy of care | As a traveling neurosurgeon, it is my job to go from place to place providing care as needed. I make sure you get the best care possible while I am on service, and then I transition your care to the incoming neurosurgery team. | Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine to use my skills to help people directly. I have mechanical skills so I gravitated to surgery. | Personal interests.
