Care Philosophy: We come together from various medical specialties and diverse backgrounds connected to a common mission: to preserve the sanctity of the patient-doctor relationship and to provide access to the highest quality health care experience in the region. We are a multi-specialty, physician-owned practice with deep roots in the community. We are defining our own brand of health care delivery, born of innovative thinking, yet rooted in our values, beliefs, and the very best traditions of our profession. Our vision is fueled by a pioneering, entrepreneurial spirit and a fervent dedication to providing access to health care the way we believe it should be delivered. As such, we offer a viable alternative to bureaucratically driven, hospital-based practices. Woodlands Medical Specialists is a place where people – patients, staff and physicians- feel heard and valued.

His areas of special interest include minimally invasive surgery/laparoscopy, advanced endoscopic surgery and the use of the da Vinci Robotic system.
