"When I decided to become a surgeon I knew that I was entering a profession where I could make an impact on people's lives. This is a demanding job, but it also often provokes the satisfaction of seeing people get well."

"My concern is that due to the increasing cost of healthcare that many patients delay treatments. I strive to work with my patients, informing them of treatment options, providing education about the disease process and support before and after surgery."

"I am committed to excellent patient care, maintaining a working relationship with my medical colleagues and providing the best care I can for this community and its citizens."
