I pride myself on my bedside manner and surgical skill set. Explaining tests, procedures and diagnoses in detail is an important part of each visit with a patient. The same is true for listening to what they have to say. I always ask if patients have any questions or concerns about the care I provided. When patients need the assistance of family or loved ones, I welcome them into my office and encourage active participation. I enjoy watching patients return to the activities they love. Helping them get there by working together to improve their health is fulfilling.
