My goal is to treat each patient as a distinct individual with the utmost respect and patience. I try to always explain the diagnosis, required work up and ultimately, the surgical plan in great detail while using language that is non-threatening and in layman's terms that everyone can understand. I believe that if the patient understands their diagnosis along with the treatment plan, then there is less anxiety and improved participation in their own care. Ultimately this improves the chance for an uneventful recovery with realistic expectations regarding potential outcomes. I perform very complex operations and I believe that if the patient and family members are educated about what to expect, then the experience will be less frightening for all involved. I approach my patients with the same thoughtfulness and consideration I would give a family member facing a similar illness or major operation. Finally, I strive to improve my own skills as a surgeon and a physician every day.
