About me

As a surgeon, it’s important to me that patients feel confident in the care I provide. Clear communication and an open, welcoming environment make that possible. Then, together we can create care plans that patients are comfortable with.

I specialize in surgeries of the colon, rectum, and anus. I'm proud to give compassionate care at a vulnerable time in patients' lives. If they are happy after their surgery, whether it’s of the abdomen, breast, colon or another part of the body, I’m satisfied.
