Overview
I grew up in Mesa, Arizona. I was an Eagle scout at age 17. I served a mission in Chile Concepcion from 1983-1984. I married Kathy Ann Gray and have been married for 30 years. We have 5 biological children and 2 adopted from an orphanage in Vladivostok Russia. I graduated from BYU in 1987 and attended medical school at University of Texas medical school at Houston from 1988-1992. Then I did a residency at Maricopa Medical Center from 1992-1997. I taught other residents from 1997-2001 at the same institution. Next I went into private practice from 2001 until the present. I enjoy the outdoors, hunting, camping, and occasional travel. Surgery was what I always wanted to do since having my own appendix removed when I was 16. I love diseases that have cures and immediate results and enjoy patients getting their lives back to normal.We do the least invasive most effective surgery we can do. If not having surgery is to your advantage, we will tell you. If another surgeon is more qualified to do a particular surgery we will let you know.
