My goal is to provide compassionate, high-quality care for my patients. I am trained in open and minimally invasive techniques including endoscopic, laparoscopic and robotic assisted approaches to addressing a variety of surgical problems. Before making any recommendations, I first work to understand each patient’s unique story, symptoms, priorities and goals. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different treatment options, offer recommendations, and seek to arrive at a shared decision about how to proceed with the best care plan for each patient.
I live with my wife Emma and our husky-mix Loki. We love to ski, hike, and find swim spots wherever we can. I play the piano and enjoy computer games or finding new TV shows to binge when at home. We travel as much as possible and seek out all types of live music.
