Description

We practice a holistic approach to treatment intimately involving you in the decision-making process. We begin with a comprehensive assessment and then create an individualized treatment care plan tailored specifically to your needs and expectations. Surgery is only one aspect of our care plan and should be utilized when all other options have been exhausted. 'Ultimately, a surgeon should not only be defined by his surgical skills, but when he discerns to use them.'
