About Me

My approach to patient care is engaging and personal. I hold myself to high standards and apply evidence based data to the surgical care I provide. I most enjoy building lasting relationships with my patients and their families. My philosophy is to never give up on anyone whom I am fortunate enough to treat as their surgeon.

In my spare time, I enjoy outdoor activity and taking my RV on the road.
