Philosophy of Care

Surgery is a stressful and frightening event for patients and their families. It requires a level of trust in the surgeon and care team that cannot be taken for granted. Having the trust of your patient, their family, and your team members is the greatest honor any healthcare professional can ask for. I strive to treat every one of my patients as if they were a member of my family to make the surgical experience as smooth as possible.

I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children, reading, traveling, running, horseback riding, and cross stitch. I have completed two half marathons and am certified in scuba diving.
