I believe that patient knowledge is fundamental to a strong patient-surgeon relationship. I spend the time to ensure my patient understands their condition, and employ shared decision making to make sure all their fears and concerns are addressed. I want my patients to feel like they are being taken care of as if they were my own family member. It is an honor to be able to care for you and your loved ones.
