Practice Philosophy: I use humor to help connect with patients and their families. I believe in compassionate care and kindness, balanced by the application of cutting-edge, evidence-based medical and surgical care. My parents taught me to live by the A’s: affability, availability, accountability, ability, authenticity, attitude (positive), action, adaptability, and appreciation. In this spirit, I seek to serve patients and to help them navigate a difficult journey to better health and well-being.
