About me

I know how hard it can be when health changes suddenly. After many years caring for people in many places around the world, I have learned that clear, steady care matters most. I treat each person with the same respect and attention I would want for my own family and for myself.

My goal is to help people keep or regain the parts of life that matter most. For one person, that may mean walking without pain. For another, it may mean riding a bike, staying active, or sitting at the dinner table with loved ones. I see success as helping each person return to daily life with as much strength and function as possible.

I believe good care starts with trust and understanding. I take time to explain problems and treatment options in simple ways. I often use drawings, photos, or models to make the complexity of vascular surgery easier to follow. I want every care plan to feel clear, thoughtful, and shared.

The most rewarding part of my work is seeing people move through a hard time and return to the life they value. It is a privilege to be part of that journey.
