“I sincerely believe – and I hope each and everyone of my patients understands – that my approach to patient care is to treat them as if they are part of my very own family. That philosophy is the foundation to every consultation I give and every surgery I perform. I recognize that patients are placing their trust in me. As a result, I am committed to making sure they understand the issue, have all of their questions answered and know that I am going to be with them every step of the way.”
