Patient/Provider Philosophy
Choice of a provider for vascular services is often centered on serious health conditions that can continue to affect the rest of a patient’s lives. I believe that, although there are many providers who may be able to offer some part of this treatment plan, choosing a contemporarily trained vascular surgeon is important. It gives the patient a provider who is trained in all aspects of traditional open surgical treatment, as well as more minimally invasive options and leads to a relationship without fragmentation of vascular care.
Personal Interests
I enjoy spending time with my family, boating, fishing and cooking.
