About
My goal is to provide my patients with the best possible care to achieve excellent outcomes. I like to listen to my patients to understand what their priorities are and what they would like to achieve. We will then work on an individual treatment plan together.
My experience of training and working at top institutions such as Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and most recently the University of Illinois allow me to integrate cutting edge treatment strategies into the care of my patients and to perform advanced procedures that are only done in a handful of centers in the United States. This allows me to help patients who may have been told elsewhere that they have no other options.
