About

Philosophy of care

My bottom line is no pain! Surgery can save lives and improve the quality of life. I can provide you a surgical journey free of pain and anxiety that results in a safe and positive outcome.

Why I entered medicine

My father and brother are surgeons, and I saw firsthand the miracles they performed. I became fascinated with the idea of eliminating pain and anxiety during the surgical process.

Community involvement

I am a Sunday school teacher and a leader in Boy Scouts of America. I am also involved with the Pay It Forward charitable giving program in Washington, D.C.

Personal interests

I spend free time with my family and in pursuit of physical fitness. I enjoy running, hiking, swimming, bicycling and sports. I also like reading classical literature and gardening.
