A solid educational foundation
"My proficiency as a surgeon is a reflection of my belief that to excel
in a profession, it's necessary to excel in the education for it. I
attended one of the finest medical schools in the East, followed by
many years of fellowship and board certification requirements. I have
the educational foundation necessary to be able to deliver top-quality
care to my patients."

Teaching the doctors of tomorrow
"I am very fortunate to have such a rewarding career and such a
wonderful family. That's why I enjoy giving something back to the profession
by teaching the surgeons of tomorrow. Not only has it allowed me to focus
on teaching complex GI cases (esophagogastrectomy, liver resection,
pancreatectomy and biliary reconstruction), but it's also made me a better
surgeon. My patients deserve this level of care."
