Philosophy:
I believe in treating patients on an individual basis. While there are known disease processes and patterns, every patient's experience of their condition is different. Conservative management is always considered if it is safe to defer or avoid surgery. If surgery is necessary, I will offer a range of options including the most up-to-date minimally-invasive techniques. I strive to respond to patients' concerns promptly, and I speak to my patients directly.
