About
Bio
I am passionate about medicine and people in general. I am trained in advanced laparoscopic surgery.
I feel comfortable managing full areas of obstetrics and gynecology.
I believe a physician should be able to heal not only the body but also the soul of his patients.
Thats why it s very important to establish a relationship with your patients by carefully listening to them and understanding their needs and desires.
