To be an affable and knowledgeable surgeon who cares for patients and helps them reach new personal goals.

Physician Philosophy: Medicine is a fast evolving science with different aspects changing on a regular base. But there are also paradigms that have lasted many centuries. Primum non nocere - first, do no harm derived from the oath of Hippocrates in ancient Greece, this paradigm is still of utmost important for our patient care. We are here to help and to cure, avoiding harm to the patient at any cost. We strive to take care of the patient's physical illness, but we also thrive to address any emotional or social aspects coming with his illness. As surgeons, we inflict pain by our measures. We aim to manage the pain to the patient's satisfaction with the help of our colleagues, nurses and assistant medical personnel. Failure to do so will delay patient recovery and satisfaction. To provide a comfortable environment for all our patients, physically and emotionally, in our practice and in the hospital, that's what we will be evaluated by.

Our medical practice is independently owned, so patients always know that decisions are made only with their best interests foremost in mind. Our surgeons are skilled, experienced and highly respected, available for consultation and second opinion in addition to performing surgery. What sets us apart? We're committed to providing excellent service - respectful, convenient, compassionate and attentive to your comfort and convenience. We will make all necessary appointments on your behalf for your medical needs. We take the time to get to know you - we're not just interested in what you need to have done. We'll review your medical history with you, closely examining your medical records and imaging studies and answering any questions you have before and after your procedure. We achieve excellent outcomes/results, safely and (important in today's environment) cost-effectively. We work with most major insurance providers and will take care of all necessary pre-approvals and paperwork. Our only agenda is your health and well-being.
