Care Philosophy: I aim to provide the best care to patients in the least invasive fashion by combining my unique training in urology and interventional radiology. I also do not believe in using opioids and believe their harms far outweigh the benefits. I have performed over five hundred major and minor surgeries without the use of opioids after surgery. In almost all cases, patient outcomes and satisfaction were higher and overall pain levels were lower than those managed with opioids.
