Summary

I am a board-certified general surgeon specializing in the surgical care of patients with breast disease. I have been in practice for over 20 years, and am grateful that I can continue doing what I love on a daily basis. Having lost both parents to cancer (my father when he was only 39), I have focused my life's work on treating cancer. I am fortunate that I have had excellent colleagues throughout my career and have been a part of world class institutions. I am committed to the clinical care of patients with breast cancer, and am engaged in exciting clinical and translational research, striving to bring the most advanced level of care to my patients.
