“I look at everyone as my canvas”
HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU SEE PATIENTS BEFORE SURGERY?
I see them twice to ensure proper preoperative planning and learn more information on the second visit that will influence the proposed plan. The subtle nuances make all the difference in the way I approach each procedure.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PRACTICE?
It’s intimate in terms of care and attention, and expansive due to my considerable command of procedures.
IN WHAT WAYS ARE YOU STRAIGHTFORWARD WITH PATIENTS?
I look at them globally and recommend what I think is best for them now, with an eye toward how they will look tomorrow.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR PRACTICE ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?
The OR team of anesthesiologists and surgical assistants have been in practice with me for over 10 years. My trio of compassionate nurses are extremely attentive to patients’ needs and maintain an intimate relationship with them from consultation to recovery.
WHAT ARE THE HALLMARKS OF A SUCCESSFUL RESULT?
A successful result is synonymous with helping the patient see themselves in the right light. When this is achieved, the patient’s overall well-being outshines the surgical result.
