About

I have several basic goals and aspirations for my professional life. My first goal is to treat each patient with state-of-art therapy and balance that treatment with the individual’s physical and emotional wants and needs. Secondly, I hope to continue to help those less fortunate both here in the U.S. and in developing countries. Third, I plan to continue a life of learning from others and a life of teaching students, residents and others from the knowledge and experiences I have accumulated in my career. And lastly, I hope to push the frontiers of medicine forward by performing research in my areas of expertise.
