About

Philosophy of care

I treat all of my patients as if they are members of my family. I feel that my role as a physician and surgeon is to educate each patient so that they can make the best decision for their particular illness.

Why I entered medicine

I chose this profession to help people and to be stimulated intellectually. I was also inspired by my family to become a physician and surgeon. My father and brother are dentists, and my mother was an operating room nurse.

Personal interests

I enjoy playing golf, cooking, cycling, reading and spending time with my wife and children.
