Philosophy of Practice:
I try to be educational and informative. I want my patients to understand their problems and their treatment options. I am very conservative in my care. Most hemorrhoidal treatment is performed in the office. Most diagnostic endoscopy is performed in the office. Fortunately, I have the ability to make people feel comfortable and relaxed. Preventative medicine is stressed.
