Overview
I am a plastic and reconstructive surgeon specializing in breast reconstruction, microsurgery and gender affirmation surgery. I am also a certified functional medicine provider. I aim to provide up-to-date, evidence-based medicine to every patient I treat. I enjoy discussing nutrition, stress, and wellness with each of my patients and how these factors can impact their surgical experience. Even though I am a surgeon, I always aim to treat the whole patient.

My interest in becoming a doctor can be traced to elementary school when every kid is asked what they want to be when they grow up. Surgery became a clear career decision because it provided instant results and changes in my patients' condition. To this day, I still get excited about going to the operating room and being able to immediately affect the lives of my patients. I specifically enjoy reconstructive surgery and hope to help people who suffer from congenital disorders, cancer, and trauma. My clinical interests include complex oncologic microsurgical reconstruction from head to toe. Additionally, I am interested in both dynamic and static facial reanimation procedures for adult and pediatric patients. In my free time, I enjoy spending time and traveling with friends and family.
