Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
My patients are my priority and, as such, their health and well-being comes first.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
Trust and honesty is paramount in a physician/patient relationship. This will allow me to provide you with the best care possible.

How do you spend your personal time when you're not caring for patients?
When I am not caring for patients, I love to take a walk in the woods and enjoy the beauty and solitude of nature.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I chose vascular surgery because of the attention to detail that the specialty requires, the elegance of the discipline, and especially the satisfaction I receive when I see a patient recover.
