Care Philosophy: Being a pediatric surgeon is more than just performing surgery on children. It is a lifelong commitment to improving the quality of life to children with surgical conditions. It is a commitment to ensure the babies and children requiring surgery receive the best and most advanced care available. It is a commitment to the child and their family to ensure they grow and develop appropriately after their operation. It is a commitment to support the family through difficult decisions and postoperative care. It is a recognition that the patient is somebody's child and it is a privilege to be allowed to care for them.

Care Philosophy: My philosophy of care is very simple. I try to treat everybody like it's my loved one in that bed. So every move I make with respect to patient management, I try to explore all of the options and advocate for the best treatment to maintain quality of life.
