OVERVIEW
My younger brother had cystic kidney disease in utero. I went to the hospital with my parents for prenatal visits. The doctors became my heroes and inspired me to follow their path. I have a background in engineering ? I always liked working with my hands ? and surgery has some similarities with engineering: You diagnose a problem and fix it. What I like about surgery is that when patients come in with specific pathologies or pain, we can diagnose it and fix it. A general surgeon needs to be flexible. Surgeons need to adapt to offer the most advanced procedures to their patients. I focus on robotic-assisted surgery. The field has advanced greatly in the last ten years. We can do minimally invasive robotic surgery and with a procedure that would have required a large open incision twenty years ago. The best part about being a physician is when patients come to you with a problem that you can fix, and the satisfaction you get from helping someone restore their lifestyle.

We know that finding the right doctor or provider is important to your health. That’s why we want to ensure you have confidence in the provider profiles and listings you see on WebMD Care. Our provider data is sourced from the physicians themselves as well as publicly available databases. Any doctor or provider who claims their profile by verifying themselves can update their information and provide additional data on their specialties, education, accepted insurances, conditions they treat, and procedures they perform.
All the physician and provider reviews on WebMD Care are provided by users just like you. Knowing these reviews provide insight into how other patients feel about a doctor, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews. Providers are not able to remove or modify reviews on their own. Reviews can only be removed after an internal review by our customer service team.
We value your input and encourage you to reach out to our support team if you encounter any issues.
