Practice Philosophy: "The thought of needing surgery often produces anxiety in the patient and their family. My office staff and I take pride in the time we spend with the patient to discuss all facets of the disease, including the treatment options and the expected results following surgery. In this way, the patient knows they're an important member of the treatment team, and thus feels more comfortable with the entire process."
