Care Philosophy

I believe the relationship between physician and patient is to work together to accomplish a desired goal. My principal role is to provide my patients with accurate information about their condition or diagnosis, which includes defining their available treatment options.

As a surgeon, my skills include a variety of very specific surgical procedures. Although every surgery comes with a degree of uncertainty, I give my best effort in applying my skill, experience, and judgement, enhanced by advanced and ever-changing technologies, to each circumstance or situation.
