Bio
I am a board-certified general surgeon and have been in private practice since 1993. I have a wide-ranging practice that includes many areas of surgery, including surgery of the abdominal organs, breast, thyroid, hernias, skin and soft tissue cancers, complex wounds, as well as trauma surgery and critical care.
