Why did you choose to become a surgeon?

The satisfaction of performing an operation well that results in the cure of a disease for a patient, and then having the opportunity to see that patient relieved of suffering, is why I chose to become a surgeon.

What’s special about Specialists in General Surgery?

The people are amazing. Everyone works hard to excel in what they do, and it shows in the care our patients receive.
