I've always liked helping people. I started as an EMT and enjoyed what I did there but wanted to further that by going to medical school. Throughout medical school, I ended up finding that surgery appealed to me because I could use my hands which I've always been good with and help people. I treat my practice as a friendship. I'm there as an advocate and a friend. I know it can be scary, but I try to use my training and years of experience to educate my patients.
