"As a surgeon, I strongly believe that a good education is the foundation for the practice of good medicine. That's why I've spent almost 20 years studying the many facets of my field and working to stay current and stay ahead of the trends that are impacting health care in general, and surgical procedures in particular. Staying current with the latest advancements is crucial to the treatment process. As the chief surgeon and member of the hospital board, it's my job to ensure we remain on the leading edge. However, this doesn't just mean in technology and experience, but in compassion and care. Knowledge is the foundation of good medicine, but a doctors depth of compassion is what makes it great."




"When you take the Hippocratic oath, you really have to count the cost of the tremendous commitment you're about to make as a medical doctor. After almost 20 years, I've never once regretted making that commitment. When the hours get long and the muscles start to strain, it's always the patients who inspire you to go on. That's why I'm still here after all the years. I'm a better surgeon than I was even five years ago--and more importantly, a better person because of it."
