PERSONAL APPROACH TO MEDICAL CARE
“Patients are at the very center of the care I give every day. Surgery and anesthesia may be an everyday event for me, but it’s not for my patients. I’ll do anything I can to put my patients at ease and being an advocate for them is at the forefront of that care. It is my honor to be able to serve this community.”
