care philosophy
As a thoughtful surgeon, I believe in utilizing the most up-to-date techniques and equipment , to provide safe, reliable and curative surgery. Additionally, body image, particularly after certain complex cancer procedures is of foremost importance. I have a great deal of experience, and I love my work.biography
