When you come see a surgeon, or any physician, you may be feeling unsure and vulnerable. I understand each patient’s predicament, and try to respect that position, while providing the best treatment I can. My goal is to have you feel comfortable, understand the full breadth of your problem, all the potential solutions and risks, while providing you with enough information to make a confident, informed, educated decision about your care.
