APPROACH TO SURGERY AND PATIENT CARE
It is very gratifying to use the tools available to us to help someone who is suffering and bring them back to good health. Having other highly skilled hands on complex cases is a huge benefit of our practice. We work closely together, and are always consulting with each other. Our approach is very analytical, which makes us great problem solvers. We can look at surgical problems from many angles. Our broad approach to surgery is intellectually stimulating and satisfying, resulting in better care for our patients. We are like a think tank, depending on each other's opinions and the team to help our patients get through difficult times.
