About

Philosophy of care

I treat every patient equally with care and to the best of my capabilities.  Although as a surgeon I can never guarantee a particular result, I can guarantee my best effort.

Why I entered medicine

To gain the knowledge and skill to help another human in need is the highest honor and privilege I could imagine to create a fulfilling purposeful life.  

Community involvement

Rendering public care and aid as a ski patroller, and teaching/instructing junior patrollers; reforestation projects

Personal interests

Drawing; painting; fishing; hiking with my dog; exploring America; participation in The Great Books Foundation
