“I have always wanted to be a doctor. I am fascinated by the opportunity to help people at such a basic human level. As a high school student, I needed shoulder surgery and the experience solidified surgery as my career decision. Having recently completed an outstanding residency program, I have had the opportunity to gain knowledge of most recent advances in the field of surgery and particularly enjoy grasping the new technologies and modalities."

"I am pleased to be a part of the team at Carolina Surgery and Cancer Center. The reputation of the staff at Carolina Surgery and Cancer Center and the dedication to patient care is what drew me to the Greater Hickory Metro and this surgery practice. My wife, Ingrid, and I are captivated by this part of the country and are so pleased to have moved here along with our three children. I look forward to continuing in the tradition of excellence alongside the staff and physicians of Carolina Surgery and Cancer Center.”
