About Me

As an osteopathic surgeon at Memorial Healthcare System, I offer holistic, patient-centered care to address my patients’ specific and individual needs.

My top priority is to provide thorough and compassionate care for my patients. I offer general and minimally invasive surgical options for patients with a variety of conditions, such as hernias, colon cancer, gallbladder disease, appendicitis and more. With expertise in open, laparoscopic and robotic surgical approaches, I always seek the least invasive option to achieve the best outcomes for my patients.

As a child, I first became interested in medicine when my brother was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder. Later, during my teenage years, I observed my first surgery. I knew right away that I wanted to be a surgeon and help people get back to their everyday lives.

My first concern is always the needs of my patients, and I strive to provide the kind of care I would want for my own family.
